    • Started on some server to client communication improvements
• This Week

  • Start work towards SPA API definition initial version

Social API

• subworkers made it to fx25
• large risk on one of the base patches for multiple providers

UX

• File transfer further UX needed now that it works (fail states, pausing, where files live)
• Have been meeting with Ascher, Simon, Ian on Labs/Towtruck to see if their code can be used for experiments - bookmarklet for TowTruck seems the best bet, is in active dev by Ian
• Making mockups on multiproviders running frameworks (see Social API)
