SDK Release Roadmap
TBD. SDK versions 0.4 and 0.5 are currently targeting 2010 Q2. Once 0.3 is released, this space will fill in with the plan for those.
SDK Release History
The SDK releases so far are available at Labs/Jetpack/SDK.
SDK 1.0 Goals
NOTE: Some of these are already achieved by the move to the SDK approach, and some made obsolete/irrelevant. These goals need updating.
- A seamless install process: It defeats the purpose of Jetpack to first require users to install Jetpack, then install a particular Jetpack, before using its features. Instead, we need a solution which allows a seamless install process.
- Seamless debugging: No pointless error messages, and all relevant warnings, line numbers, and tracebacks, are displayed.
- Enabling API: An API deep enough to support a large range of add-ons. It is a non-goal in 1.0 to support everything, instead it is to support 80% of the long-tail of add-ons. The exact feature set of the API will be determined by a set of target add-ons (TBD) and feedback from Jetpack authors.
- Frozen API: Although the API may be versioned, we the API will be backwards compatible from 1.0 on.
- Beautiful by default: A set of OS-specific icons, as well as a beautiful look for Jetpacks.
- Security-sensitive Import mechanism: The strength of any API is measured in how easily 3rd parties can extend it. The 1.0 release will have a strong import mechanism, replete with security provisions.
- Security: A functioning security system that mixes code with social protections.
- An AMO-like service with social code-review
- Localization story
- Works on Fennec
