= Feature Planning & Prioritization Review =
= Feature Planning & Prioritization Review =
* ''we'll be reviewing the existing feature planning documentation, discussing prioritization and any missing requirements''
== Visual Refresh ==
* no comments, yay
 
== Bookmarks & History ==
* myk: microsummaries should be added as a P3 item
** P2 - ability for extension authors to define microsummary information
** P2 - ability for page authors to encode microsummary
** P3/4? - ability for user to build their own microsummary
** gerv: will we make this a big name feature for Fx2?
** beltzner: we'll know closer to RC1, I guess
* schrep: I think we need to ensure that there's a compelling enough reason to move to places if the only aspect of it that's P1 is the backend change
** API pieces need to be moved to P1
** beltzner: if we move the new Places UI to P1, will that be bad?
** ben: that less tags as P1 shouldn't affect ship date
** shaver: that's not really on the requirements list atm, and it should be
 
== User Experience ==
* the usability study should be a P1
* shaver: is the scope of session restore just the content, or will hooks be available to extension authors?
** dietrich: current scope is content area only
** bsmedberg: we're also just storing the URL and pulling from cache, but not storing the DOM
** dietrich: we are storing some form data (inputs, textareas, checkboxes)
** shaver: I'm interested in the extension hooks because it would allow for a deeper type of restore; could be an event, category of observers for serialize/deserialize; I'd propose a P2
** P2 - ability for extension authors to contribute to the session saving structures
** axel: we also want to be avoid the crash-reload-crash loop as well, that should be added as a requirement
* spellcheck should bump down a P-level
* jhughes: I'd like to see the browsermessage stuff promoted to being a product requirement, P2
* shaver: the restore defaults thing from search should be promoted to a profile-wide thing; P3? P2?
* need to add back the notification area requirement (general area in browser UI for application and extensions to notify users of ... something)
 
== Feeds ==
* it's based on the SAX parser
* beltzner: we're gonna drop the requirement for "chrome priv'd controls" since that's a design solution, not a requirement
* dietrich, ben and others: combine feed items #2, 3 and 5 into a single higher-priority item, eliminate item #1 (it's an implementation detail)
 
== Extensions ==
* beltzner needs to remove his implementation details
* P5s need to be rendered differently, hard to see it was deleted
* improve the UE around application updates for extension updates
* bsmedberg: locale packs need to be P1'd to support the download size requirement
* make first item P1, less implementation detail-y
* shaver: support for new add on types as P3
* shaver: we should rephrase items 1-4 into three seperate entities: management experience, install experience, update experience
 
== Search ==
* s/adding and removing/managing/
* shaver: leave restore defaults in, but it should be profile-wide
* s/shadow text/discoverability/
* schrep: search bar update toolbars have had a lot of innovation, should we be uplifting?
* ben: a couple of additions
** P3: combine bookmark keywords and keyword search (ie: single provider for search)
 
== Distribution Support ==
* rephrase EULA requirement so that it's more understandable
* P2s providing 110n'd EULAs
* P3s legally binding l10n'd version of the EULA
* the bits around anti-phishing should move down to the anti-phishing section, duh
* need to add MSI support at low priority just to get it back on the radar
 
== Infrastructure & Performance ==
* remove the "respect and protect" item (it's part of the FFx charter)
* rephrase "data model" to talk about requirement to document, fact it's not just UI instrument data
* reprioritize the API and hooks to P3, add "for extensions"
* performance section needs to be revamped entirely
* most people agreed that performance around memory should be a P1
* schrep: the issue is around getting benchmarks to make it crisper; we need to capture a better idea of what's pissing people off about our memory usage, and fix that as compared to our competitors
* shaver: "market acceptable" memory usage?
* choffmann: we also need to be testing more appropriately, with interactions instead of static content
* cbeard: set benchmarks, align to use cases
 
== Security ==
* move respect privacy to the blurb and link back to the charter
* move API item to P2
* s/removed/disabled/
* remove the last SSL issue
 
== Platform Support ==
* need to formalize the platforms and locales that we support
* need to formalize which linucies to support, which Mac (universal? PPC?)
