Re: Update on BlinkOn/Chromium conference

@Neil: You haven't sent this message to the mailing list. I assume you
are ok with me replying here since you actually asked the same question
in yesterday's core meeting.

Basically the answer can be found from slide
https://people.igalia.com/fwang/blink-on-10/slides/#/4 :

(1) We have a public development branch:
https://github.com/Igalia/chromium-dev/tree/mathml-dev#-mathml-in-chromium
; we only tested on Linux and macOS so far but it should be possible to
build Chromium with MathML support on all chromium-supported platforms (
the layout code is relatively platform-independent ).
(2) Our buildbot regularly builds the latest packages for Linux:
https://build-chromium.igalia.com/mathml/packages/

As I said during the meeting we probably don't want to advertise too
much about it for now. In general unstable builds of chromium should
only be used by people who know what they do ; in this particular case
it is really a work-in-progress implementation, there are bugs, several
features on the roadmap are not implemented yet etc so it's probably not
good enough yet to be presented to a wider audience. Still, it is useful
for alpha testers or people willing to write WPT tests. Igalia has some
buildbots for macOS / Windows so it should be possible to use them to
produce Chromium MathML builds on these platforms in the future.
