 *** Needs update to marketplace validator

+** Launching of apps within a desktop browser has landed - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772600 bug 772600]
 * Questions and Concerns
 ** Concern - QA is blocked on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772363 bug 772363] - need input on how to test on each platform (desktop, android, b2g)

+** What differences exist in the app manifests used for Gaia apps vs. typical app manifests (i.e. what desktop & android install apps against)? Example manifest properties I see:
+*** permissions
+*** orientation
+*** activities
+*** attention_page
+*** background_page
+** How does B2G make use of packaged apps?
+** Can any of the gaia apps be ran on desktop or android as well?
 * Roundtable
 = Minutes =
+* Significant Updates
+** Implementing security changes to the manifest, tracker bug 768862:
+*** Needs changes to be written up in the spec
+*** Needs enforcement in WebRTs across desktop, android and b2g
+*** Needs update to marketplace validator
+*** Adding an app_home field (i. e., to show that a particular app is really a facebook app)
+*** Affects current platform work
+*** Note: not displaying permissions info at install time, only at runtime

+** Can any of the gaia apps be ran on desktop or android as well?
+* Roundtable

+*** Solving the bootstrap problem
+*** Launching apps from dashboards, using intents, etc.
+*** Developer support -- supporting multiple window apps; native windows
