== Summary ==
Ensure PFS2 is ready for prime-time, and switch the pfs.datasource.url in Firefox (and update legacy URI, if possible) to use PFS2.
== Team ==
Who's working on this?
* '''Feature Manager''': ''Kev Needham''
* '''Lead Developer''': ''Mossop (?)''
* '''Product Manager''': ''Kev Needham''
* '''QA''': George Carstoiu (irc: GeorgeCarstoiu)
* '''UX''': ''TBD''
* '''Security''': ''TBD''
* '''Privacy''': ''N/A''
* '''WebDev''': ''Morgamic''
== Release Requirements ==
* Performance and load testing of PFS2 application to ensure it is capable of meeting needs of Firefox users
* WebDev signoff of above
* Functional testing of PFS2 application
* QA Signoff of above
* Security review of PFS2 application
* Commit preference change to trunk and test
== Next Steps & Open Issues ==
The change to Firefox itself is relatively minor, and involves changing a single preference. The larger issues are on the back-end, where additional work may be required to ensure the service can meet demand, and stay responsive (see bugs {{bug|573775}}, {{bug|564803}}, and {{bug|564807}}, which outline some potential issues). Next steps require an assessment from WebDev on current state of PFS2, and what changes and/or development is required to bring it on-line.
The [[PFS#Testing_PFS|PFS Test Plan]] will need to be updated to identify test cases/scenarios.
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==
{{bug|573834}} - Change PFS backend to use PFS2
{{bug|573775}} - Load test PFS2 API for Firefox 4 integration
{{bug|564803}} - Directory needs better caching with per-plugin invalidation
{{bug|564807}} - Optimize the directory's gnarly slow DB queries
== Risks ==
Readiness of PFS2 webapp is a blocker to implementation. Risks include resource availability with WebDev, and results of testing. The back-end must be ready to go before a product change is made, so the web service is a blocker for this feature.
This feature should be re-considered as a P2 given the unknown state of PFS2.
== Use Cases ==
Everyone loves use cases, so you should provide them if you can (and where it makes sense).  The [[ChannelSwitching/ChannelSwitchingFeature#Use_Cases|Channel Switcher]] Feature Page has some good examples.
== Designs ==
No designs required. Project has been scoped at [[PFS2]].
== Test Plans ==
The current test plan/method is documented on the [[PFS#Testing_PFS|PFS wiki page]], and requires updating for PFS2 to identify platforms, mime-types, and expected behaviours.
== Goals ==
* Provide identical service as current PFS, but use new infrastructure which facilitates management of listed plugins through the directory-driven back-end.
== Non-Goals ==
* Plugin Update Checking
* Plugin Updates
== Legend (remove if you like) ==
