Meeting 20240206

[Michael McMahon]

* Grants (Development/Design)
  * NLnet
    - Ongoing.
    - Reviewed most of the etherpad organizing grant objectives
  * Open Technology Fund
  * Be on the lookout for other grant opportunities.

* Progress on reported bugs (Development/Design)
  * Discussing WebWorker.

* Manifest V3 (Development)
  * Rediscussion of both our "blocking" issues:
    1. RegisteredContentScript requirements, 
https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/103
    2. LAN-aware DNR, https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/402
  * These were favorably received by Mozilla, Google (neutral on 2) and 
Apple.
  * Meeting minutes: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QkwhEMtMS67JBUkl_WVPZ4lRSKoWcQNlLJSf_GwSXg8/edit
  * Discussion will continue on the specific followup proposal I've 
created afterwards:
  - Proposal: RegisteredContentScript.func and 
RegisteredContentScript.args (similar to ScriptInjection), 
https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/536
  -  Proposal: RegisteredContentScript.workers property to inject 
WorkerScope(s), https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/538
  - Proposal: RegisteredContentScript.tabIds and 
RegisteredContentScript.excludeTabIds properties to filter injection, 
https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/539
  - I'm working to a new or amended LAN-aware DNR proposal which can be 
more favorably received by Google and Apple based on their feedback (on 
Firefox we will still be able to use blocking WebRequest for the 
foreseeable future).

* User stats (Development/Design)
  * JShelter user statistics as of 2023-02-28.
    * Chrome users: 3170 (???%) (2023-02-28)
    * Firefox users: 530 (???%) (2023-10-10)
    * Total known users: 3698
      * Uncounted users would include users of Firefox based browsers 
which do not check each day for browser updates.

* Usability report (Design)
  * Looking into changing the style to a more user-friendly format.

* Localization or Internationalization (i18n) (Development/Design)
  * We have a working pipeline.
  * Some upload parts are manual.
  * We probably do not want weblate to automatically push to pagure 
without review.

* Copyediting
  - Some problems with Pagure. Could not create new branches.
  - Branches must be prefixe with web something.
  - Additional prefixes can be added if needed.
