Venkman planning for Gecko 1.9

Over the last couple years, the Mozilla code base has evolved 
significantly on the trunk. Unfortunately, development on the JavaScript 
Debugger has not kept pace - the code has "bitrotted" significantly, and 
introduced significant bugs.

This is a serious problem. It's equally serious that no one is hacking 
on it. I've found it to be a very useful tool for working on chrome 
code, and XULRunner apps would benefit from having a debugger handy.

So here's what I want to do. I want to schedule a weekend meeting for 2 
pm PDT Saturday [1] at #venkman on moznet [2]. The goal, as I see it, is 
to plan fixing Venkman so it is usable on the XULRunner 1.9 platform. 
(Getting it working on Firefox 3 would be a nice thing, too.) I want to 
see who's willing to contribute hours (weeks, more likely) of coding 
and/or reviewing to this goal. In particular, I'm worried about trying 
to find out whatever API changes are needed in Venkman itself (not what 
API Venkman has to call) and getting them in before 1.9 branches.

Watch my weblog [3] for more details; I'll write up a draft plan for the 
meeting, so we have some things to think about.
