Description

Project "Toolkit for sandboxing third-parties libraries in Firefox" described here
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode19

This task tracks some limitations in rlbox that should be addressed before sandboxing more libraries - i.e. libraries other than the initial target of libGraphite.

The list of high priority libraries we discussed on calls/slack is below. We
should create individual bugs as we start working on them.

• ogg
• espeak
• nestegg
• prio
• soundtouch
• tremor
• opus
• vorbis

EDIT: Moved this to separate bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1673529

I can see the project is now listed in the idea list of this year GSOC. I wrote mail to the mentors, but as it seems it will take sometime to get response back. Meanwhile before directly jumping to write the proposal, I wanted to discuss the libraries, I have experience in developing display drivers for Chromium so is there third party library which needs to be sand-boxed that fits this category.
I would have discussed here earlier but I lost the 2FA code and recovery was time consuming process. Anyways what is the channel for the RLBox/wasm-sandbox related discussions cause yesterday I ended up on webassembly and couldn't find all of the mentors but just Nathan Sir (He was not online though) there.
Let me know Shravan and Deian Sir.
