Josh/Till this is a good start, good documentation is painful, but necessary.
David thank you, I think these are great question that we should present with some easy answers. We should probably start collecting some of this stuff into one central place. But somebody said on IRC recently that on big pile of information usually doesn't help either. >>Tom wrote: >>- Events/Conferecens >Not sure yet. >I have the feeling that I don't see enough talks on SpiderMonkey.

Make it >visible, show your work! Ha spot on, I think this was my feeling when writing that, too. We should encourage people besides Dave & David to talk about the stuff we do. Even maybe at smaller conferences/meetups (I did that recently, will blog about that soon). Nicolas: >Feel free to ask me for any IonMonkey details.

This isn't really about me ;) What would be really awesome if we could do some short introductory video (like the old v8 one) and then link to a page that explains different concepts. I also started collecting some technical papers that are relevant to the stuff we implement.

That isn't really the feeling I have, from purely IRC, maybe we don't yet think about working with remote people in the right way? >I noticed that we have fewer work weeks than other team, Inviting >contributors to our work weeks should also remind us >that we are not alone and that we are working with/for the community.

Exactly what I was thinking :) What I am really hoping for at the moment that David or so, could weight in, so we could make the Meeting and weekly notes part working. For me this is easily the most important part. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-js-engine-internals mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-js-engine-internals
