<big>'''An open OS that puts Web content first'''</big>
 
==='''What is Alopex?'''===
Alopex is the project name for our initiative to evolve the design and overall experience of Firefox OS.
Alopex used to be the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_fox genus under which the Arctic Fox was included] and it's a cool [http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Alopex female mutant Arctic Fox] from a popular cartoon.
 
==='''Project Goals'''===
Alopex is about delivering an open OS that puts Web content first.
It is about crafting an end-to-end Firefox experience that:
* Puts Web content in the center of the experience
* Directly addresses the shortcomings of the Web on mobile
* Emphasizes the Web's strengths of immediacy and continuity across devices
* Is centered around simplicity yet puts the user fully in control
* Creates an open platform for participation, and promotes community contribution
 
This initiative will build on top of the amazing work that has gone into customizations (add-ons), the ability to save/use Web content (Pin the Web), data sync and more.
 
==='''Ideal End State'''===
* The process of discovering and finding great Web content is simple, yet familiar
* Differences between content types (web apps, websites, etc.) are abstracted away from the user entirely
* Users no longer experience non-optimized Web content (web content not formatted to the screen size and input method)
* Barriers to the consumption of content (such as installations and re-authentication) are a thing of the past
* The experience of loading Web content is quick and fluid
* Connection issues no longer "break" the experience (endless spinners, partially loaded content, etc.)
* Users can access their favourite content from any device
* Users can start any task on one device and finish it on another
* The  Firefox OS experience is familiar and approachable for the average Web user, yet enables full control over users' online experiences (should  they choose to exercise it)
* Developers/content creators have new ways of getting content in front of users and are not beholden to the rules/terms of distribution via controlled app stores
