Minutes

review actions from previous meeting

dietrich to get results from BrowserID performance test runs and post them to BrowserID wiki page
dietrich to talk to build team about performance test run issues

  • dietrich hasn't had time to do these but intends to, so they remain on list
  • performance testing should happen for F1 addon as well
  • teams should be able to share the cedar project branch
  • [etherpad about using cedar branch]

mixedpuppy to test the new navigator.* feature in aurora (firefox 9), provide technique to stomlinson

  • mixedpuppy got it working, and it works great
  • he rewrote injector.js script to have a backward compatibility shim
  • the work is in an OWA branch that anant should review and land today
  • info forwarded to BrowserID team

myk to follow up with dcm, who is not present, about localization meeting

  • l10n is top priority for Jetpack team, ochameau is working on it in bug 691782
  • Q4 goals are to support l10n of strings in JS and have plan for l10n of strings in HTML
  • integration with l10n web application/service moved to future phase of development
  • initial phase of development to support manually-bundled files
  • BrowserID, OWA, F1 Sharing features want to ship as soon as possible
  • BrowserID loose goal as of a couple weeks ago was proof of concept by end of year
  • OWA goal sounds like alpha in two weeks, release in January/February
  • we should decouple Jetpack long-term plans from short-term needs of features
  • Test Pilot addon experience may be instructive: strings localized via standard process and shipped in core
  • we could do the same for these features and then write scripts to convert .properties files to JSON format supported by Jetpack
  • or features could use .properties files directly via XPCOM
  • l10n team developers busy working on native android app localization, not available to write scripts

-> someone (dascher?) to figure out who on identity team will be driver for l10n
-> myk to report back on the specifics of Jetpack's l10n plan
-> myk to identify and propose short-term plan to localize these features

dietrich to blog about modular development

  • [so blogged]
  • benadida plans to follow up with more specifics

dietrich to figure out if Jetpack reviewers are core reviewers and, if not, what it would take to make them such

  • dietrich talked to gavin and mossop about it
  • gavin thinks jetpack developers should be reviewing jetpack code, including code that lands in /browser/
  • review policy doesn't have to be exactly the same as firefox's but must be reasonable
  • some issues around review were raised in wake of test pilot experience
  • questions around mechanics of landing jetpack platform in firefox and landing addons with jetpack platform inside them during transition period

-> dietrich to identify review concerns based on test pilot post mortem
-> dietrich to send a message to working group about mechanics of plan
-> myk to figure out where besides these meetings working group discussions should be taking place
-> shanec and dascher to figure out who from the various feature teams should participate in these meetings
