== Overview ==
Desktop WebRT is a The Web Runtime project to build a desktop Web builds application RunTime runtimes that provides webapps with a native-like look enable users to install and feel along with platform integration APIs run Open Web Apps on Android, Windows, Mac, and other desktop platforms. The runtime comprises the [[mdc:Web/API/window.navigator.mozApps|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. == Feature Drivers == The feature drivers are responsible for making sure the runtime gets completed and shipped with Firefox. They triage bug reports and enhancement requests, find engineers to tackle issues, and communicate status updates to the Apps initiative and Mozilla communityLinux. The feature drivers are: * Vishy Krishnamoorthy (vishy), Product Manager* Bill Walker (bwalker), Engineering Manager* Jason Smith (jsmith), QA Engineer* Myk Melez (myk), Technical Lead
