Roadmap update

• Got about half-way through, and will pick it up again next week (hoozah)
• Notes made on KR's version of PPT. Of note:
  • Only Turkish added to Fx 21 - Hungarian & Slovak targeting 22 now
    • Erin to work with l10n team to get a sense of when other locales can land
  • Reblow on zoom only by double tap, targeting 22
  • No further refinements to be made for customizing about:home - rather, any further improvements will be fed into the home redesign
  • Target redesign of home (to 3 swypable pages) for 23 or 24
  • Look at bringing in some simpler reader improvements (night mode, sans serif, adding to reading list)
  • Listed Q2 APIs targeting 24 (webactivities, push, contacts - we are working on payments, but alarm is also requested)
    • may have overlap between alarm and push
  • Any 'good code' wins for 22?
  • FHR to now target 23
  • WebRTC better to move to 24
  • Need MVP for optimizing on TV and directional navigation using game controler
  • What form (and timing) for data bandwidth improvements? Need to check with BL
  • MVP for Shumway currently being documented and need to further engage with Shumway team
