Interesting session about CSS WG and WPT, we need more tests and testers, CSS seems like a nice way to start with. Community, documentation and external outreach were the main topics. https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2018/SessionIdeas#CSSWG_Community_Engagement_Regarding_Testing

My first Firefox patch that actually has some code landed yesterday: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4e07d3243403 😀

The initial plan was just to modify some tests to match the spec, but fixing the bug itself wasn’t that complex after all. 😇
