-# Allow one-way syncing of a Git repository to a Mercurial repository
+* Set up Git->HG syncing infrastructure (Non-blocking: If not ready by landing time, can do weekly drops.)
-# Create a Git repo that's specifically for pulling from
+* Work with browser/toolkit module owners to determine code location in each component.
-# Land the SDK's module loader in Firefox at /browser/modules via the Git repo
+* Land CommonJS loader in Firefox (In toolkit, have Mossop to review.)
-# Progressively land SDK API libraries in Firefox via the Git branch
+* Jetpack housecleaning required before landing
-# Once migration is complete, sync the SDK's master instead of the migration rep
+** Misc cleanup (removing window-utils, etc.)
+** Packagelessness
+** Separate core APIs into Browser and Toolkit sets
+* Land core APIs in Firefox
+Each of these Loader usage scenarios should be supported and documented with code samples:
+* Inclusion into XUL window scope
+* Inclusion into non-window scopes (JS XPCOM, JS Modules)
+* Support shared & private instances
 |Feature security review=The Add-on SDK has gone through multiple security reviews. Should schedule another one to review how/where the code lives and is initiated/loaded inside Firefox.
