 * Camera
 * Security model
+== Notes ==
+* WebSMS
+** GetMessages finished
+** Last part of API, so initial impl finished
+** Needs cleanup and tests still
+* WebUSB
+** Little progress on windows side with previous approach of using windows 7 usb device redirection API - turns out API is not actually intended for use from user mode applications
+** Need to write a kernel mode USB filter driver in order to properly enumerate devices and replace their drivers at runtime. Few working examples of this available in the wild as open-source, and documentation is not great.
+** May still be possible to use the Microsoft user-mode USB stack for actual device interaction and only rely on our custom driver for enumeration and driver installation.
+* WebTelephony
+** Have test-phone extension written. Pretends to implement a phone which can be used for testing
+** For B2G we now have access to the radio.
+** Soon will have access to push and receive events.
+* QA
+** John Hammink will help us on the testing side.
+* Filesystem
+** Lots of progress
+* Battery
+** Have a API proposal different from DAPs proposal
+** Have an implementation of our suggested API for android
+** Mounir can look at linux too, need help for other platforms
+* Network connectivity
+** No-one has started working on this yet
+** W3C has set up a task force which we will join
+* Camera
+** has landed on Android but is currently pref'd off
+* Security Model
+** We're starting to formulate initial thoughts for what the security model will look like
+** addons.mozilla.org will soon support installing OWA apps. Hopefully we can use that as platform to enable experimental installable apps which have access to sensitive APIs.
