= Minutes = | = Minutes = | ||
== Significant Updates == | |||
=== test day on June 22 === | |||
* given the urgency of Basecamp, is there a way to test B2G? | |||
* there's a B2G for desktop bug | |||
* we need to start filing compatibility bugs | |||
* Ragavan strongly encourages folks to test on Fennec and file compatibility bugs | |||
* often bugs are on the other end: UA sniffing, not using properties that are available | |||
* don't just look at layout and CSS issues but also functionality issues | |||
* Aaron has tools: screenshot tool for comparing screenshots, tool for opening sites in your browser and reporting whether it looks/feels right | |||
* question about how to convert reports into bugs | |||
* Fennec folks planning to land apps functionality on nightly | |||
* we could test that on test day as well | |||
=== status of new b2g test devices? === | |||
* rags to ask clee and get back to clouserw about it | |||
* marketplace team is not blocked but can't publish anything; is testing on Samsung Galaxy S2 | |||
* marketplace team waiting for native browserid to land, which is supposed to happen this week | |||
* platform support should be everywhere, but UI is product-specific | |||
* felipe's team is working on desktop Firefox UI | |||
== Questions and Concerns == | |||
=== need closure ASAP on API for installed apps versus acquired apps === | |||
* it would be really cool if marketplace could distinguish between installed and acquired apps | |||
* we have a way to determine this for both mac and windows | |||
* and we have patches for both platforms | |||
* folks are arguing about whether and how to do this | |||
* myk to send jst background info on installed vs. acquired apps issue | |||
* jst to contact anant and suggest next steps for resolving issue | |||
=== status of apps on fennec? === | |||
* wes just landed two patches for apps on fennec | |||
* it should be possible to test apps on fennec on the june 22 test day | |||
* wes should be able to get a build to apps folks | |||
* wes to generate and distribute Fennec build with apps support on dev-webapps | |||
=== "International Marketplace Potential Ship before B2G milestone" - What does this mean and how does it affect us? === | |||
* marketplace folks heard there's going to be an international release of the marketplace before we launch it in brazil | |||
* rags doesn't think that's the case | |||
* plan is to launch english content english-speaking for north america, uk, and australia | |||
* for those it won't be necessary to localize the site | |||
* goal is to get marketplace for desktop and android so developers can start developing apps and we can get a sense of how the ecosystem works as a whole | |||
* marketplace will be accessible to every firefox user | |||
* but english-speaking content initially | |||
* we will not be supporting chrome and other browsers | |||
=== Need a dedicated UX resource for web runtime === | |||
* dils is not going to be working on the desktop runtime anymore | |||
* bclark can review proposals that we come up with | |||
* in the meantime, engineers will have to design the UI, with feedback from bclark and ticachica | |||
== Roundtable == | |||
* demos happen fridays at noon | |||
* demo your stuff! you may think folks know about it, but they don't! | |||
* we have a quarterly goal to complete the runtimes and AITC | |||
* get your stuff in by the end of the month! | |||
* that way we have a buffer before the merge on July 17 (16?) | |||
