= | = Workflow for a new API = | ||
* | Current status: '''draft'''. | ||
1. File a bug in Toolkit > WebExtensions on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla]. | |||
2. Mark it as [design-decision-needed] | |||
3. We'll review it in the [[WebExtensions/AdvisoryGroup]]. If you feel the API might not happen or is controversial, it might make sense to wait to see if anyone has any concerns about that. | |||
4. Start creating your code! | |||
At this point there's a few things you need to do: | |||
* write some documentation outlining your API | |||
* think about the API should be constructed and work with the WebExtensions team to figure that out | |||
* think about security, privacy in the API, this will be reviewed by the team | |||
* ensure that you have tests | |||
* TODO: let's get a clear set of criteria | |||
An email to dev-addons@mozilla.com would be useful with the subject: "Intent to experiment [name]" | |||
5. A repository will be created for you. | |||
6. Start sending pull requests in, your code will need to be reviewed before landing. | |||
== Uplift == | |||
If the experiment results in an API that is going to land into Firefox, then we'll uplift that to mozilla-central. Any code must meet basic criteria. | |||
TODO: complete this flow | |||
An email to dev-addons@mozilla.com would be useful with the subject: "Intent to implement [name]" detailing the experiment that is moving up into Firefox. | |||
