Firebug and Future Strategies

• Florent: agrees with Honza's strategy
• Everyone except Sebastian agrees now that we should built Firebug on top of DevTools.

• Firebug 3 should be:
  • Built on top of DevTools
  • A theme for DevTools
  • Focus on pro features e.g.:
    • Analytic related features
    • Server side debugging
    • Support for more browsers
    • Dynamic feature installation

• Next steps: talk to Jeff and others about analytic tools, gather as much as feedback as possible
• Start prototyping Firebug 3, Firebug theme, SDK
