RE: Agenda for Sept 25th call

Hi folks,

Actually, regarding the book, I'm not so sure we need any more
review(s)* right now.

I've got 6 fairly thorough reviews already and might want to wait for
any more until I've had a chance to make all those changes. Doug and I
are working on ways to enable old people like me to edit content housed
at www.w3.org, in a way that my errant keystrokes will not cause the
collapse of the web as we know it.

So I might encourage waiting 'til the first round of review(s) has been
dispatched before piling any more for processing.

Cheers
David

*Is review a mass noun or a count noun?

flesh out the test

Safari's SquirrelMonkey, Firefox' TraceMonkey).  Let's create some fun
SVG Demos to take advantage of this horsepower and get some wow.  Does
someone want to start a wiki page and we can brainstorm ideas?  Here's
a quickie: Compare the following in Fx3 and in Chrome:
