SOCBB Contract Proposal: Coverage of Browser Implementation Status Metadata

Guiding Goal

• Accurate feature availability data empowers Chromium contributors to efficiently target the highest-value interoperability opportunities. It also provides the SOCBB with the data needed to direct funding toward features that maximize impact for Chromium users.
• Accurate and up to date web-feature IDs are also crucial for Chromium use counters and to identify and generate WPTs for increased test coverage.

Scope

• Code and data changes related to browser implementation status metadata in web-features (tracking all shipped and in-flight features), browser-compat-data (providing the underlying compatibility data) and Chromium.

Tasks

• Updates to web-features or browser-compat-data to accurately reflect the implementation status of web features in browser metadata for browsers and WebViews.
• Fixing issues related to code infrastructure supporting web-features and browser-compat-data proposed by Chromium contributors and approved by the SOCBB Steering Committee.

Measuring Progress

• % of web-features that have availability metadata
• # of issues fixed
