We also need a hill to take, in order to scope and focus our efforts. Recently we saw the [http://github.com/andreasgal/pdf.js/ pdf.js] project expose small gaps that needed filling in order for "HTML5" to be a superset of PDF. We want to take a bigger step now, and find the gaps that keep web developers from being able to build apps that are --- in every way --- the equals of native apps built for the iPhone, Android, and WP7.
To that end, we started a project we’re calling Firefox OS, formerly [http://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G Boot to Gecko] (B2G), to pursue the goal of building a complete, standalone operating system for the open web. It requires work in a number of areas.
* '''New web APIs''': build prototype APIs for exposing device and OS capabilities to content (Telephony, SMS, Camera, USB, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.)
