<p>Currently the TUID service has stability and speed issues. The aim of this project is to investigate, understand the problems related to it and find a permanent solution.</p>

<p>The purpose of this project is to allow the selection of several tabs in Firefox and thus perform specific actions on them at once. These actions include closing or moving tabs into a new window. The Shift and CTRL/Cmd keys could respectively be used for a range select or for individual item select.</p>

<p>Session Restore is important as a key feature of Firefox. Many people rely on it to re-open a tab from the past or recover from an unfortunate power outage. This project's goal is to make the process snappy and blazing fast.</p>

<p>Over the last ten years, Mozilla has been using Buildbot as its primary continuous integration tool in order to schedule builds and tests for every push that is sent to Treeherder for evaluation. As Mozilla is slowly moving towards using TaskCluster as its primary continuous integration system, an important step would be make Treeherder, the primary UI used for handling builds and tests, compatible with TaskCluster. The current Treeherder interface allows us to schedule buildbot jobs. This proposal aims to integrate Treeherder's job scheduling user interface with TaskCluster jobs. While doing this, it hopes to improve the overall integration of Treeherder with TaskCluster.</p>

<p>Iodide is a browser-based notebook which works with absolute zero configuration. Iodide notebooks are designed for scientists so that they can work flexibly and share their work without any hassle. Iodide is still in its early alpha stage. This project aims to extend the functionality of the notebook; making the notebook code more robust and performant; helping to shape the user experience; and creating example notebooks.</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/xiph/rav1e" target="_blank">Rav1e</a> is an AV1 encoder that is fast enough to be used in videoconference scenarios on x86_64. This project will implement <a href="https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd" target="_blank">wasm-simd</a> support in rav1e to make viable as in-browser encoder.</p>

<p>We have tons of testing jobs for a push but we don't want to run each of them, as they are time consuming and requiring hardware resources. The SETA (Search for Extraneous Test Automation) is a tool to help us find out which test job is necessary for detecting the failures. To make it more maintainable and more reliable, we need to re-write SETA and we may want SETA to support Taskcluster as well. Furthermore, we want Taskcluster can use SETA to schedule job and add document for SETA.</p>

<p>At present, <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org" target="_blank">bugzilla.mozilla.org</a> uses enter_bug.cgi to file bugs. This is particularly unwieldy due to a lot of reasons like two hop db access, backend template rendering and multiple views. This project aims at improving the current bug filing scenario by creating a new single page interface to file bugs, thereby increasing the overall performance and usability</p>

<p>Mozilla Investigator(<a href="http://mig.mozilla.org/" target="_blank">MIG</a>) is a platform that provides distributed and real time digital forensics at the speed of the cloud i.e. obtaining forensic information from large numbers of systems in parallel. This project aims to implement a Linux Audit module for MIG which will provide support for syscall monitoring via the Audit daemon. This will enhance the capabilities of MIG to aggregate, mark, alert on related syscall events and store them in logs.</p>

<p>Open Source software growth is rising.</p> <p>Millions of developers from plenty of countries with different skill-sets and ideas contribute on a daily basis to Open Source projects. It’s free and it gives you the chance to gain practical experience working on some sensational projects. You can get in touch with experts on the field and create something amazing together.</p> <p>But how easy is for new contributors to get involved in Open Source? It takes time to find the appropriate project and issue. The ideal project must be well-documented and match your skills. That’s what FixMe does. FixMe is a tool for surfacing meaningful contribution opportunities to new contributors.</p>

<p>Servo has support for Web Workers, and the new Fetch Api whose development is in progress is another new standard, that aims to replace XMLHttpRequest (XHR), and provides a cleaner api for anything involving requests and responses.The Fetch api spec also has a subsection which details on handling fetch calls within a service worker context. <a href="https://slightlyoff.github.io/ServiceWorker/spec/service_worker/" target="_blank">Spec</a> Service Workers are the new standard, for modern web apps, which aims to bring native app like experience to browser based apps, by providing a programmable api, for caching certain paths of pages, ,manipulating routing within an application,intercepting network requests according to user logic.</p> <p>Servo has a partial implementation of Fetch api, but the Service Worker api’s are currently missing and if implemented, Servo will be able to intercept network calls made from within the Service Worker’s context, the “handle_fetch” subsection of the Fetch Spec, is to be implemented. <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/" target="_blank">Spec</a></p> <p>My project is to have a partial implementation of the new Service Worker Api and its helper interfaces, in Servo. The project is focused on working on parts of the Service Worker Specification which revolves around intercepting network requests.</p>

<p>The project involves the redesign of Firefox Reader as well as working on the functionality related issues the current reader is facing. The redesign of the Reader has to be done so that it complies the Photon Design System and also offers a better user experience to it's users. Thus, using the knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, and web experience, the project aims at revamping the Reader View considering all the three reader modes ie. Light Mode, Dark Mode and Sepia Mode to enhance the reader's reading experience.</p>

<p>I will work to find WebAssembly based solution for missing mediaRecorder API for browsers like Safari and Edge. By using native mp3 encoder that will be used in the browser with the help of Emscripten compiled javascript output.</p>

<p>The project mainly focuses on <strong>improving the User Experience</strong> for people who wish to contribute to Pontoon (the localization tool developed by Mozilla) . While there are lots of good features in the Pontoon but there are few problems with the current flow for tool for the first-time users which creates a confusion for the users who wish to contribute. User Experience (UX) can be improved by making some important changes in the flow majorly making a <strong>new homepage</strong> and by implementation of new functionality in the tool like <strong>implementing a tutorial</strong> and making a more smooth design of the tool to help the first-time users. UX also sometimes involve some changing in the default UI of the tool.</p>

<p>The audience of Thimble largely consists of teachers, educators and students. One of the most requested feature in thimble is collaboration. Right now only a single user can work on a project. The aim of the project is to allow multiple users to edit the same code at the same time. The project would also include adding other features like chat, comments etc. that promote Collaboration.</p>

<p>Design and partially implement a research operating system that uses WebAssembly to implement software-isolated processes (SIPs) that run in ring 0 in order to allow architecture-agnostic compiled binaries and possibly attain higher performance due to not needing page-table switches and interrupt-based system-calls.</p>

<p>The aim of this project is to investigate and propose a plan for <em>separation of Servo script crate</em>. Script crate lays in the core of the Servo and requires a large amount of memory to build. Large memory requirements make it impossible to build on 32-bit computers and slowdown development.</p>

<p>The aim of this project is to implement WeGPU API on Servo to a point where basic examples can be simulated. It would also involve covering a fair amount of conformance test suite, and profiling and benchmarking the implemented WebGPU against the existing WebGL implementation on Servo.</p>

<p>Improve the infrastructure underpinning Firefox's in-tree documentation.</p>

<p>The aim of this project is to replace libpurple's XMPP implementation with JavaScript implementation of XMPP protocol after adding missing features to JavaScript implementation</p>

<p>I have good experience with TypeScript development, look inside to check it. It`s reason why preferenced project for me is “Flow to TypeScript migration”. And I bet then my experience will be helpful for community.</p>

<p>Currently, events and tasks are created and edited in a dialog window. This project will add the option to create and edit them in a tab instead, providing more room and flexibility for the UI design. A supplemental goal is to explore implementing this feature in HTML/CSS/JavaScript rather than XUL. By using a responsive design, an HTML-based implementation could fully replace the current XUL-based event dialog. The UI could change depending on the width of the viewport, providing either a wider (tab) view or a narrower (dialog window) view.</p>

<p>Inlay hints take advantage of Swift's powerful type inference by visualizing inferred types throughout a Swift program in the editor. This makes it easier to read and understand Swift code, all while letting the programmer write concise code, without having to spell out every type. To achieve this, a custom LSP request is introduced that fetches the inferred types of unannotated variable bindings from the language server which, in turn, queries <code>sourcekitd</code> for the required information. The request will be called by the editor, e.g. VSCode, which will subsequently present the corresponding text decorations.</p>
