This document prioritizes work that we need to do for the upcoming releases, identifying big rocks we need to tackle soon and little rocks we can push off until later. It also attempts to group tasks into rough time estimates so developers can choose what they want to work on next based on the amount of time they have to spend.

Current Focus

Here is our proposal for the top things we want to have done in the next few months:

• Testing framework for UI tests and page-cycler tests. Also need Cocoa UI tests.
• Omnibox -- shess
• Printing
• Gears -- jeremy
• Sandboxed plug-ins and default plug-in
• Bookmarks manager
• Popup blocking
• Security dialogs
• Design doc for audio/video tags so we know how hard they will be
• Design doc for IME input methods (if work not already complete -- hbono)
• Design doc for (or ensure we're keeping up with) themes and extensions -- jrg
• Keychain integration with saved passwords -- smorgan

Time Estimates

Scary/unknown (months with possibly sweeping changes required)

• gears - jeremy
• audio
• video (fullscreen)
• input methods for the webpage -- hbono
• localization (capitalization) changes
• showing UI dialogs from the file thread - paul (this is required for downloads and save page)
• AppMode, packaging, finish auto-update (design doc)

Lots of effort (months)

• omnibox -- shess
• printing
• i18n/l10n
• Sandboxed plug-ins -- amanda
• Get ChromeBot running for Mac
