	Platform 2012 Roadmap
	Owner: Chris Blizzard	Updated: 2012-01-20
	This roadmap outlines the current strategy and direction for Mozilla Platform development through 2011. While much of the recent past has been focused on HTML5, it's become obvious that where we want the web to go has to go well beyond that and build something that moves the web forward in a way that takes advantage of its unique capabilities, and will allow you to move seamlessly from phones to tablets to your desktop.

Vision

We want the platform in Firefox to enable app-quality experiences and developer productivity that rivals native platforms.

Networking

Name	Description	Status	When
Compete WebSockets to Match RFC	This brings WebSockets to the point where it matches the IETF RFC. It includes the protocol and API bits from the W3C.	Done	Done
Support for SPDY	SPDY is a new protocol built on the request app model of the web that allows for multiplexing, connection sharing and is SSL-only. It saves costs for server vendors who will have to deal with fewer connections per page load. And for end users it makes pages generally feel faster to load.	Checked in for testing, not enabled by default.	Testing in Q1, deployment depending on feedback.
