Summary
Create a sensible, easy to use Query API for Places for Firefox 3.7/4.0
Current Status
Initial API concepts are on paper, and we are iterating. See the "sketches": [1]
Next Steps
- Iterate the feel of the API with the Places team and other interested developers. Ideas and feedback are encouraged.
Related Bugs
Team
- API: ddahl + places team
- UX/UI: faaborg

Faaborg has been mocking up designs and putting a lot pf thought into the UX: http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2009/10/13/browsing-your-personal-web/
Goals/Use Cases
- An elegant and easy to use API. Fx devs, Jetpack and extension developers will all benefit.
- allows us to prototype the new ui for 3.7
- 'Pluggable' results handling
- Focus on JS usage
Non Goals
- Tailoring the API to tree views
- Creating the perfect API (lets iterate)
- Intended as a snap-in replacement of the current API
