Meeting notes, 08/Jan/2021

[Ruben]

* Status of js-restrictor project
  * haven't heard from nlnet, not signed memorandum yet. Started working
on what is in the proposal, working on github, waiting for us to start
coordination.
* Availability in the next few months
   * Giorgio: almost always available. This week busy with open
technology summit, so may be unavailable.
   * Libor: may not be available all the time, but shouldn't have
anything major in coming months.
   * Martin: phd student, some course classes here and there but
generally available. No big vacation breaks expected soon.
   * Other students that are related to the project are working on their
thesis to be presented in may. If the funding from nlnet is secured they
may continue after their thesis, this is not clear yet.
* How often to meet, who to participate
  * Libor: no strong feelings, maybe 1,2 times a month.
  * Giorgio: suggest 2 meetings per month, then call off the meeting if
nothing to discuss, and use the mailing list as much as possible.
* First task:
 * Document and refactor existing code from JSR, to minimize duplicated
structures (per-browser, or otherwise). Write a plug-in system that
generalizes the definition of wrapped functions using JSON. Add
functionality to track hits-per-domain and report to user.

 * should we work as 1 or 2 separate codebases (fork or not): we should
use one codebase, as a joint project.
 * right now the JSR code is in github. we should clone the repository
in pagure, and have a regular task of synchronizing it up to github. It
should be ok to move the existing repo to github eventually
 * Giorgio will refactor and include code from related projects, like
noscript. An important topic to work on is manifest-v3 and incoming
changes that relate to it. To send related information to the mailing list.
   * Initial information from mozilla is that they will make their API
compatible with manifest-v3. A month ago mozilla opened a private
mailing list, where it sounds like they are considering partial
compatibility.
 * Start working on clutter-free filter generation (with a clear API),
UI and reliability* on a pagure cloned JSR repository
*https://github.com/polcak/jsrestrictor/issues/71
  * Regular scheduled meeting 4pm CET friday every other week, next one
would be 22nd of jan.
