Hi Khaled

What are your current plans? I see a lot of day to day activity but do you have timelines with regular goals set? 
Obviously the main goal I am interested in is feature parity with trunk. When is that planned for? 
What about rendering quality of boxes vs trunk?

And apart from that, you had used cairo onscreen before and reverted away from that after the discussion with Jean. Can we resolve those platform issues and get that quality back?

thanks
Craig
