 == Questions ==
 * How does will the browser work in B2G, how does it behave? Is it the same Fennec or is it different?
+** Exactly the same fennec code, only it is started when you bring up the browser.  As yet, the codebase is unforked in this capacity, and the drive is to not fork the gecko platform between "normal" fennec and the fennec layer running on B2G
 * What is the difference between chrome and content in terms of dispatching actions to either group?
+** You can see the difference in dispatching a script call by looking at what the scratchpad does - alternately execute in chrome or content depending on what the user has selected on a menu:
+*** http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/devtools/scratchpad/scratchpad.js#332
+For dispatching "events" we will use message managers to dispatch into content (you're coming from chrome).  Dispatching for chrome is easy since you're already in chrome.
 * What is the B2G UI environment? XUL, HTML5? How does a11y interface handle them?
+** HTML5.  that's the point of B2G.  A11y will have to handle it, and may have to have capabilities developed in parallel.  that's why we're working with dbolter.
 * Do we need to worry about a11y in a multiprocess environment (ie: can we dispatch a11y commands to both chrome and content?)
+** No, a11y by definition has to be able to do this.  We will hopefully be able to let the a11y subsystem handle it.
