New topic: Servo support for Speedometer 3.0
Source: https://browserbench.org/announcements/speedometer3/
Servo issue: servo/servo#16719 (first opened in 2017)
From Speedometer 3.0 there is now a new shared governance model:
A New Governance Model
This is the first time the Speedometer benchmark, or any major browser benchmark, has been developed through a cross-industry collaboration supported by each major browser engine: Blink/V8, Gecko/SpiderMonkey, and WebKit/JavaScriptCore. It’s been developed under a new governance model, driven by consensus, and is hosted in a shared repository that’s open to contribution. This new structure involves a lot of collective effort: discussions, research, debates, decisions, and hundreds of PRs since we announced the project in December 2022.
Let's also add a topic for Using Vello in Servo please. See write-up https://github.com/gterzian/servo_canvas_2d
- Wiki cleanup
Related to this, how do we feel about moving towards mdBook-style docs, like Rust uses?
Ideally this book would cover hacking on and contributing to Servo, its architecture, and how to consume Servo and its libraries, basically anything that doesn’t fit in rustdoc. Compared to loose md files on GitHub, it’s easier to search and navigate and the format is richer, and unlike wikis we get the full revision history UI on web.
We could start with HACKING_QUICKSTART.md, then migrate other key md files and wiki pages, polishing and updating the docs as we go.
