Jetpack 1.0 Goals

A seamless install process: It defeats the purpose of Jetpack to first require users to install Jetpack, then install a particular Jetpack, before using its features. Instead, we need a solution which allows a seamless install process.
Seamless debugging: No pointless error messages, and all relevant warnings, line numbers, and tracebacks, are displayed.
Enabling API: An API deep enough to support a large range of add-ons. It is a non-goal in 1.0 to support everything, instead it is to support 80% of the long-tail of add-ons. The exact feature set of the API will be determined by a set of target add-ons (TBD) and feedback from Jetpack authors.
- Frozen API: Although the API may be versioned, we the API will be backwards compatible from 1.0 on.
Beautiful by default: A set of OS-specific icons, as well as a beautiful look for Jetpacks.
Security-sensitive Import mechanism: The strength of any API is measured in how easily 3rd parties can extend it. The 1.0 release will have a strong import mechanism, replete with security provisions.
Security: A functioning security system that mixes code with social protections.
- An AMO-like service with social code-review
