Extension Manager Enhancements

Installer

Firefox 2.0 Windows Installer - land prior to alpha 2. Received a "partner application requirement for Google Pack" from Bonnie at Google. This will start back up after Extension Blacklisting is finished.
Branding and Locale installer customization - this will be worked on at the same time as the Installer work. Specifics of what we would like to accomplish with this will be gathered when work commences again on the installer.

Search Engine UI

Visual Refresh

cursory tests of Fx1.5 on Longhorn Beta shows that no significant changes were made that break NSITheme
- vlad and pav will need to revisit this for Cairo (Firefox 3) as well, and have said that they'll alert us if they find anything significantly broken
talking with Visual Identity team about timelines required to deliver a new set of icons to shine & polish default Firefox 2 look and feel
currently brainstorming with ben and Visual Identity team about what changes will need to be made to default chrome to support new features
need to checkpoint with Gavin about changes to chrome around Search Bar

Platform Uplift

Inline Spell Check

No change from last week (blocked on dictionary distribution issues).

Instrumentation / Exit Surveys

Evaluating instrumentation data formats - binary blob vs. compressed XML. Data format should be finalized this week. Collectors partly finished for load and window events.

Session Saver

Analyzed the different approaches of existing extensions
Got permission from click2tab, tabmix and crash recovery authors to use their code
Investigating Shaver's idea of DOM serialization/restoration
- Avoids some form issues, caching issues
- Probably faster than network round-trip
Was using some of the click2tab code for a prototype storing window/tab info in localstore.rdf. However, new version of Crash Restore has been rewritten for performance. It's very lean, and small codebase. Nice API.
