Updates since last meeting (on Monday, July 13th):

Scrolling (skobes, szager) [crbug.com/417782]

• Continuing root layer scrolling conversion. Judging progress is hard

and we don't necessarily know how much work remains, plan is to turn

on root layer scrolling unconditionally and then run all he tests in

order to see how many test failures we have and then use that as a

burn-down list. Obviously progress isn't linear with the number of

test failures but should give us a rough idea and a way to track

progerss. (szager)

CSS Flexbox (cbiesinger) [crbug.com/426898]

• Back from vacation, resuming flexbox work.

CSS Grid Layout (svillar) [crbug.com/79180]

Text (eae, drott, kojii)

will unblock work to enable the complex path by default. (kojii)

logic. Have a good understanding of the system and working on adding

tests to ensure that we do not regress and that our system has good

test coverage. (drott)

at the moment, looking into why and working on improving our

font selection tests. (drott)
