Requirements
Requirements for Product
Work with existing workflows, not against them
Existing workflows should not be broken, interrupted, or compromised in any other way.
Tasks, rather than individual steps
At the moment, many common tasks (such as emailing a snippet of text to a friend) require you to repeat the same discrete steps each time. Give that these steps are already known, this workflow can be streamlined into a single step.
Issues to resolve
User Interactions & Workflows
The general user experience, and the interaction model are still being designed.
Localization
- See Taskfox/L10n
Contextual suggestions
Contextual suggestions are desirable, but only if they work correctly. This is comparable to Ubiquity's noun-first suggestions. Potentially, FireFox's microformats support could be leveraged for this. For some additional thoughts on this, see http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/new-tabs/
