= UI polishing Hackathon - Firefox for Android =

We (mobile front-end team) have been discussing the idea of doing topic-oriented hackathons. The plan is to pick a topic—a specific part or aspect of the product—and have the whole team focused on it for a couple days. The goal is to bring substantial and fast improvement on areas that, ideally, will improve our user experience.

== Topic, Agenda, and Dates ==

For the first hackathon, we're going to focus on UI polishing bugs. In terms of dates and agenda, here's my suggestion:

* April 24 (Wednesday)
** 17h30 (GMT) - Planning session on Vidyo/IRC: bug triaging & task splitting (this is just after the mobile team meeting)
** Rest of the day - Hacking
* April 25-26 (Thursday and Friday)
** Hacking, hacking, hacking
** Maybe a quick stand-up session on IRC at 17h30 (GMT) to update everyone on the progress?

Everyone is welcome to jump in.

== List of bugs ==

== Preparation ==

The hackathon is only next week but it's important have a good list of bugs before we start. So, everyone can start nominating Fennec bugs for the hackathon now by tagging them with "ui-hackathon". We'll cleanup this list and maybe prioritize them a bit during the planning session on the first day of the hackathon. Let's try to focus on papercut-type bugs as opposed to new feature work.
