* axel: are we changing the format for the searchplugins for 2.0? | * axel: are we changing the format for the searchplugins for 2.0? | ||
** ben: yes, to an XML format that is similar but not necessarily identical to OpenSearch | ** ben: yes, to an XML format that is similar but not necessarily identical to OpenSearch | ||
** mconnor: and we'll provide a converter | ** mconnor: and we'll provide a converter so that we can parse and convert existing sherlock-formatted plugins | ||
** jesse: why not the same format as Microsoft? | |||
** cbeard: OpenSearch 1.1 isn't actually open, it's available for other people to use, but it's controlled by Amazon. So we aim to be compatible and extensible with any other emerging standards. | |||
** ben: the implementation will be similar to OpenSearch, but the namespace might be different to allow us to extend it as required. We're leaving ourselves open to wherever this ecosystem moves. | |||
* cbeard: will we have support for rich-AJAXy-find as you type stuff? | |||
** ben: should be easy to add on to the format we're planning, but not currently scoped during development | |||
== Visual Refresh == | |||
* not ready for current A1 target | |||
* looking at a quick RFP/contest solution to find a superstar in waiting who wants to help us here | |||
* need an offline session with cbeard, beltzner, schrep and ben to build requirements for the "new look" of Firefox | |||
* ben: should probably ping SilverOrange about this, Steve is interested | |||
* cbeard to kick this off | |||
== | == Platform Uplift == | ||
* neither brendan nor jst are at this meeting | |||
* darin: a lot of patches are trickling over already due to the current branch landing strategy | |||
* schrep: goal is to control which ones will make it into 1.8.1 to be both proactive and reactive for quality. | |||
* darin: sounds urgent, since we've been allowing checkins for the past two weeks | |||
* schrep: by next status meeting, I'll have a better heads up | |||
- autoupdate bugs | == Inline Spell Check == | ||
* mostly works on trunk, no work has been done to port to branch | |||
* main thing to figure out is how to distribute the dictionary | |||
** a size issue (200kb compressed) | |||
** bsmedberg: extension locales buys us 70 more KB | |||
** rob_strong: I bought you the other 130KB with the installer! | |||
** axel: we have a licensing issue with any localized dictionary, [[L10n:Dictionaries]] to track them | |||
* would be nice to see a plan for including it and moving it to the branch | |||
* ben: there's a lot of dependency on the extension locale stuff that needs to be resolved before we move this to branch | |||
== Instrumentation / Exit Surveys == | |||
== Session Saver == | |||
== Branding & Update Systems == | |||
== RSS == | |||
== Status Indication UI == | |||
== Offline mode / better use of cache == | |||
== Pluggable Download Manager == | |||
== Anti-Phishing == | |||
= New Items to Consider = | |||
* autoupdate bugs | |||
* polish bugs | |||
