 The product will be split into phases. Initially, the product experience will be focused on leveraging the utility of a user's existing Firefox data as it pertains to the current Sync implementation, with the ability to view that data within the iOS WebView framework. The user will then be able to complete further simple browsing activities, all within the Firefox context.
-In addition, to provide further value to the experience for existing users - and also expose new users to new Firefox services - initial Task Continuity improvements are also targeted for inclusion. This includes a cloud-based reading list experience and being able to send browser tabs between Firefox browsers attached to the same Firefox Account.
+Although initially the browser will include the fundamentals for Firefox browsing based on WKWebView made available in iOS 8, the browser will become more full featured over the next several roadmapped major releases. The goal for the first release is to ensure that users can browse the data they share across their Firefox browsers, as well as manage simple browsing tasks.

-A balance needs to be struck in order to provide a mobile Firefox experience in line with basic expectations for our initial target audience, along with time-to-market needs. Parity with the current Firefox for Android will not be possible with the first launch of the iOS version, but it must still feel like a Firefox experience. Current [https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/1rfhMbw2zR6OmL8gSo_Nz3YuEVbNnHpFGZTvV2DX90fc/edit#gid=0 working document for the browser functionality] is available to Mozilla employees only initially whilst the definition gets locked down.

+== Pre-Release Test Program ==
+We are currently working out the logistics to support a pre-release test program within the Apple framework (deployment and support works differently then how we deploy beta in Google Play for Android, so bear with us).
-== Test Program ==
+If you are a Mozilla employee, feel free to fill out this [http://goo.gl/forms/8K0i8cSXaG participant survey] in order to log your interest. Those who don't have Mozilla credentials, you will need to wait for the next phase of the program for your chance to help test the client. Note - we sent out a public link to start creating a list of external, interested participants. Demand was very large, so the survey was live for a short period of time. There may be an additional survey to log interest in the program, but we are sifting through the (wonderful) overwhelming demand! We have a limited set of test spaces due to Apple guidelines for testing pre-release apps, so our hands are tied regarding the limited external pre-release testing we can provide.

-== Cross-Team Coordination ==
+For our current testers, [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Firefox_for_iOS-Pre-Release_Program here's a page] detailing information about the previous builds, corresponding surveys and what areas to focus your testing on for the current build!
-A [https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/16f8HiB0pv8gQl_uJgpwpz42qkIC5fDk00_qYufeCafc/edit#gid=0 rudimentary spreadsheet] to be used as a central discussion point across teams that detail open questions. Once answers have been discussed, they'll be transferred to the wiki.
