{{draft|}}WebRT is a project to build a desktop web application runtime that provides webapps with a native-like look and feel along with platform integration APIs on Windows, Mac, and other desktop platforms.
(The related '''WebRT is a Android''' project aims to build web application runtimes that provide web applications with integrate a native-like look and feel along with platform integration APIs on runtime for Android, Windows, Mac, and other platformsinto Fennec. See its [[Apps/WebRTJunePRD|Product Requirements Document]] for more information.)
== Android ==The runtime comprises the '''navigator.mozApps DOM API''' through which the Mozilla Marketplace, other webapp stores, and webapps themselves request installation; an '''installer feature of Firefox''' that installs webapps on the native platform; a '''stub executable launcher''' bundled with Firefox that the installer copies to an appropriate location for each webapp it installs; and a '''xulapp shell''' that loads a webapp when a user starts it.
WebRT Android comprises the '''navigator.mozApps DOM API''' through which the Mozilla Marketplace, other webapp stores, and webapps themselves request installation; a '''webapp tab''' feature of Fennec for loading webapps in fullscreen tabs; and a '''Mozilla Marketplace activity''' that is bundled with Fennec and enables users to browse the marketplace, install webapps from it, and manage their installed webapps.== Feature Drivers ==

They triage bugs bug reports and enhancement requests, find engineers to do work and address tackle issues, and make recommendations communicate status updates to Firefox's channel drivers regarding enabling/disabling the runtime for the various Firefox channelsApps initiative and Mozilla community.
The feature drivers are:

=== Discussions ===
Discussions on runtime design and development topics take place in a variety of public forums:
* [[Apps/StatusMeetings/Engineering|weekly Apps Engineering meeting]]
Status updates are also presented at the weekly [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning |Product Coordination]] and [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform#Meetings |Firefox/Gecko Development]] meetings.
=== Bug Reporting ===
Bugs related to the runtime are typically filed in the following three components:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core&component=DOM:%20Mozilla%20Extensions Core / DOM: Mozilla Extensions]: Gecko's navigator.mozApps DOM API (i.e. the API that web pages use to request webapp installation)
=== Triage ===
Feature drivers Drivers triage bug reports on a regular basis using the following bug queries:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?order=Assignee;resolution=---;status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr;status_whiteboard=%5Bblocking-webrtdesktop1%2B%5D open v1 blockers, ordered by assignee]
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?priority=--;order=Bug%20Number;resolution=---;component=Web%20Apps;component=Webapp%20Runtime;product=Firefox open unprioritized bugs, ordered by bug number]
=== References =Source Code == The source code for the runtime lives in the [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ mozilla-central Mercurial repository] in the following files and directories: * [https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/webapprt/ /webapprt]: stub executable launcher and XUL shell* [https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/modules/webappsUI.jsm /browser/modules/webappsUI.jsm]: Firefox webapp installation UI* [https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/modules/WebappsInstaller.jsm /browser/modules/WebappsInstaller.jsm]: Firefox webapp installer* [https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/apps/ /dom/apps]: Gecko navigator.mozApps DOM API
* Engineers develop it in accordance with standard Mozilla development best practices, including the [[Appshttps://developer.mozilla.org/En/StatusMozilla_Coding_Style_Guide Coding Style Guide]]* , the [https://etherpaddeveloper.mozilla.org/webapprt-install-flow etherpad webapprt-install-flowEn/Developer_Guide/Committing_Rules_and_Responsibilities Committing Rules and Responsibilities]: install flow specification, and Firefox's [[RapidRelease|rapid release schedule]].
