We will also make some outreach efforts in order to attract more collaborators, partners, and potential sponsors interested in working, participating, and funding the project. + +They have also shared 7 goals that they want to achieve in 2023. + +**Project Reactivation:** This is the first stage that will continue until the end of 2023 and will involve reactivating the Servo project as a whole. + +**Project Outreach:** Fueled by the renewed activity on the project's [GitHub][7] page, they plan to make some outreach efforts by spreading the word about the project. + +This will be done to attract more collaborators, companies, and partners who may be interested in contributing to or funding the project. + +**Main Dependencies Upgrade:** Several dependencies of Servo will be worked upon as they have been in a dilapidated condition and require upgrading, such as [WebRender][8] and [Stylo][9]. + +**Layout Engine Selection:** Servo currently has two layout engines, 2013 (the original one) and 2020 (the new one). + +They will be deciding, along with the contributors and the community, which option to go with for the long term. + +**Progress Towards Basic CSS2 Support:** After the above two things are done, they plan to work towards basic [CSS2 conformance][10]. + +**Explore Android Support:** They want to explore the possibility of supporting Android along with other platforms, as they have already experimented with the platform in the past. + +**Embeddable Web Engine Experiments:** For the final stage of the roadmap, they aim to make Servo into an 'embeddable web rendering engine.' + +The team is also exploring possibilities in this regard by having some sort of Servo demo running on embedded devices or looking into existing projects such as [Tauri][11]. + +You can go through the [official announcement][12] to learn more about the roadmap. + +### Final Thoughts + +A rust-powered web engine could do wonders and be superior to [Blink][13] or [Gecko][14]-based alternatives. + +Furthermore, another open-source alternative to something we use almost daily shouldn't be a bad thing and will let us have many options. + +_💬 What do you think about Servo's aim to restart things and focus on getting back on the track it was initially designed for?_ + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-servo-web-engine/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w2000/2023/02/mozilla-web-servo-comeback.png +[2]: https://servo.org/blog/2020/11/17/servo-home/ +[3]: https://www.linuxfoundation.org +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/02/Servo_Roadmap.jpg +[5]: https://servo.org/blog/2023/01/16/servo-2023/ +[6]: https://servo.org/governance/tsc/ +[7]: https://github.com/servo +[8]: https://github.com/servo/webrender +[9]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Quantum/Stylo +[10]: https://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/conform.html +[11]: https://tauri.app +[12]: https://servo.org/blog/2023/02/03/servo-2023-roadmap/ +[13]: https://www.chromium.org/blink/ +[14]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Gecko
