== Overview == | |||
Add-ons are a well-known concept in the world of web browsers, and this concept [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Add-ons has been added to Firefox OS too]. A single Firefox OS add-on can extend just one app, several, or all of them. As a prototype there is an app on the latest builds of FirefoxOS called HackerSpace which holds add-ons. We would like to deprecate that app and replace it with the Marketplace officially supporting add-ons. | |||
== Proposed Phases == | |||
* beta phase (open for foxfooding of consumer pages, submission process): starting 2015/10/06 | |||
* MVP phase (open for consumer pages, submission process, review process): starting 2015/11/02 | |||
* version 1.1 | |||
== Engineering Considerations == | |||
This affects: | |||
* Developer Tools | |||
** Modify required fields (categories, icons, etc.) | |||
* Validator | |||
* Reviewer Tools | |||
* Add an API revealing add-ons | |||
* Add a new page for displaying add-ons | |||
** Gaia will bookmark this on their home screen | |||
* Bonus: Gaia would like to upload add-ons programmatically from FxOS | |||
== Implementation == | |||
Add-ons for FxOS were implemented via Marketplace (rather than AMO), due to the timeline and the similarity between webapps and extensions (in the context of FxOS). | Add-ons for FxOS were implemented via Marketplace (rather than AMO), due to the timeline and the similarity between webapps and extensions (in the context of FxOS). | ||
