Overview

This goal of this project is to improve the discoverability of content on mobile devices.

It should:

• Help catalyze the move to the web as the platform for mobile devices.
• Generate community participation as a key differentiator.
• Utilize the collective wisdom of our community, for the benefit of our community, to bring the best of the web to everyone.
• Replace e.me search with new discovery experiences in future versions of Firefox OS.
