Education/Projects/JetpackforLearning/DesignCamp/Agenda/Collaboration

Participants: Emre, Marcio, Michelle, Laurian and Brian

Standards

• jetpack are not standards, not even XUL
• but they are based on open web standards (X)HTML, CSS, JS
• why not standardise extensions, there are widget standards anyway…
• other standards: coding standards, standards in education…

Interoperability (annotations)

• OpenAnnotation as core
• call other jetpacks? how to test if a jetpack is installed? any jetpack dependencies management?
• have a collection of static images (ex. icons) as an jetpack/xpi library
• use the DOM as coordination space between jetpacks, eventually with a compatible annotation style

Sharing data between jetpacks

• in the same browser
• could be DOM storage based?
• an event bus could be handy
• sharing data across network?
• Mozilla Weave? as common storage for two or more parties…

Library import vs. copy

• DRY (Do not Repeat Yourself)? new packaging API should help.

Peer Review

• code reviews
• documentation

Jetpack Citizenship

• community involvement
• create libraries, support them!
• http://www.mozdev.org/
• continue work on jetpacks after this design camp (are your jetpacks part of other projects? research papers?)

Deployment in one step to non jetpack users

• double XPI installation in one step (jetpack extension + your jetpack + whatever else)
