Re: Web Performance: Survey and Workshop - We'd like your input!

I see this exactly the same way. It will be a feature that requires the
user to accept that this information gets collected or it will be enables
by default using a browser flag - this will be useful for testing. I will
put a proposal together for the upcoming workshop.

I already asked Tobie to work together. Paul you are more than welcome too!

Btw. I also think that Chrome might already provide an API like this
today. Developer tools run already in the browser so there should be an
API to get this information.

As a first step I propose to define the use cases we want to support. The
actual API will then be next.
