| Feature
| Firefox Home Revamp/Nofications addition?
| Several folks
| SUMO reports there are more inquiries on this every week. BrowserID will not work with the existing system. We could also use this to get a notifications foothold on ios
|-
| Feature
| [[Services/Sync/Push_to_device|Push to device]] revive? kill?
|
| greg did a lot of work on this, but it was put on hold due to native fennec.
|-
| Feature
| Add last Sync'ed message to the error messages
| SUMO
| Users really dislike the errors. It would be good to at least put last time sync'ed so the user knows how old their current data is. Let's look at this after "Death to Unknown Error" code is in GA. Then we can measure if the complaints of error bar have gone done enough that we don't have to do any more.

| If we can identify all the errors some how then we could point the users to the information that can help them better understand what is going on. And if they can solve their own problem even better!

| [[Services/Sync/client_cert_sync|Client Certificate Sync]]
| Sync Sub-Set of Bookmarks
| TBD
| SUMO
| Not Started
| Provide the option to Sync just a group of bookmarks. This can be done in different ways (only sync bookmarks with certain label or in certain folder or with a certain parameter changed to positive) but the goal is to simply allow users not to sync all their bookmarks but just a set of their collection.

| Automatic reset-prompted backup
| TBD
| atoll, rnewman
| Not Started
| Firefox should be capable of writing a profile backup to the Downloads directory, and ask the user to approve such a backup a couple times a year, and as part of doing various deadly Sync Reset options.  "Why is this important?" clickable to SUMO. I know everybody will whinge to infinity about how backups are hard, but until we can make it trivially simple to do this, it's never going to happen, and users are going to continue to lose their data.  Users sure aren't willing to do the hard work.  Maybe we are.

== Notes from Etherpad ==
== Inbox (Old < 2011 Q3) ==
These notes need to be put into feature pages of the respective items.  
; This is a place to put any Sync ideas. We'll review these periodically.
