Minutes

actions from previous meeting

dietrich and irakli to come up with plan for landing jetpack in firefox

  • gozala talked to dietrich
  • plan for first iteration is to land the loader
  • dietrich drafted a feature page <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-on_SDK_in_Firefox>
  • on jetpack side they will create a branch that will only contain the loader
  • there are a few problems with the plan to go packageless
  • tree structure will be different, which makes it non-trivial to figure out where the loader code will live
  • gozala hasn't had time to create the branch but will probably create it by the next meeting
  • -> gozala to create a branch containing only the loader in preparation for landing it in firefox

irakli to start discussion about packageless sdk proposal

  • gozala posted to the discussion group, got some feedback
  • has made some refinements to the proposal
  • will still need to refine the proposal further based on feedback
  • has had a few meetings with ochameau and warner
  • -> gozala to finalize proposal for a packageless sdk

myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles (in four weeks!)

  • myk and dietrich haven't done anything yet
  • still plan to do it by the next meeting
  • ochameau in the meantime has started the draft by copying notes from the previous meeting to this etherpad <https://etherpad.mozilla.org/addon-features-principles>
  • -> myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles for jetpack features

irakli to propose manifest strategy for core features using the sdk

  • ochameau suggested there should be no manifest for core features
  • gozala and warner chatted about it, couldn't decide whether or not it makes sense to have manifest
  • there are some notes about it in the packageless proposal
  • our current thinking is that core features can go manifestless for the time being
  • there could be a separate step for core features to have manifests
  • at this point the plan is to not require a manifest for core features
  • see the details in the packageless proposal
  • but gozala and warner are still thinking about it
  • proposal: <https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Packageless>
  • -> myk to look at packageless proposal and provide feedback once gozala updates it
