* FlightDeck should be ready for it by then | |||
== SDK == | |||
* Q4 goals | |||
** Build a prototype SDK that can build add-ons that use non-UI based features for Fennec | |||
*** ZER0 has prototype based on 1.3, but it needs updating for 1.4 | |||
*** not sure we'll be able to finish that work this quarter | |||
** Build an API that developers can use to localise JS strings | |||
*** ochameau should have patch for review this week | |||
** Create a plan for extending that API to allow localising HTML content | |||
*** myk working on related subject: short-term solution for localizing HTML pages in SDK-based Firefox features | |||
*** myk to take on this goal, although it is at risk | |||
** Create a new Add-on Tab API | |||
*** gozala has split the work into several chunks, working on one of those at the moment | |||
*** it should be on-track | |||
** Support community member(s) landing Prefs API | |||
*** erikvold landed the patch, so the feature is done | |||
*** it has received some testing to date, and erikvold has been responsive to bug reports | |||
*** it needs lots of testing to make sure we stabilize it and ship a great feature | |||
** Make it no longer necessary to unpack/repack XPIs | |||
*** warner knows what needs to be done | |||
*** on track | |||
** Continue to release new versions of the SDK periodically with new features and bug fixes | |||
*** SDK 1.3 released! | |||
** Land the platform support side of an IndexDB API to be ready for the developer-facing API in Q1 | |||
*** seems on track, one issue remains, krizsa should have patch soon | |||
*** the time it takes to get review could be an issue | |||
* myk to spin 1.4b1 today | |||
* contact a driver if there's something you think should go into the beta | |||
== Roundtable == | |||
* UX team is doing a redesign that makes addons more core to the product | |||
* to make it obvious how to extend firefox, add capabilities to the product, and uninstall addons | |||
* UX team will write up what they're trying to accomplish over next couple of weeks and solicit jetpack team's input | |||
* it will include both a grand vision and identifying steps to make progress iteratively | |||
* we have existing plan to move widgets to navigation bar | |||
* that work took a back seat to mobile support and l10n this quarter | |||
* dcm will be in bay area next week to work on 2012 jetpack roadmap | |||
* dcm will raise this during roadmap planning process | |||
* we need a volunteer to present latest update at planning meeting tomorrow | |||
* gozala to do it | |||
* ochameau has posted an etherpad presenting the big picture for localization | |||
* please give him feedback! | |||
* any update on when we might implement a JS-based packager? | |||
* we've previously talked about 2012 Q3/Q4 | |||
* no update, but we'll revisit the question after we update the jetpack roadmap | |||
