Minutes

actions from previous meeting

dietrich and irakli to come up with plan for landing jetpack in firefox

• gozala talked to dietrich
• plan for first iteration is to land the loader
• dietrich drafted a feature page <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-on_SDK_in_Firefox>
• on jetpack side they will create a branch that will only contain the loader
• there are a few problems with the plan to go packageless
• tree structure will be different, which makes it non-trivial to figure out where the loader code will live
• gozala hasn't had time to create the branch but will probably create it by the next meeting
• -> gozala to create a branch containing only the loader in preparation for landing it in firefox

irakli to start discussion about packageless sdk proposal

• gozala posted to the discussion group, got some feedback
• has made some refinements to the proposal
• will still need to refine the proposal further based on feedback
• has had a few meetings with ochameau and warner
• -> gozala to finalize proposal for a packageless sdk

myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles (in four weeks!)

• myk and dietrich haven't done anything yet
• still plan to do it by the next meeting
• ochameau in the meantime has started the draft by copying notes from the previous meeting to this etherpad <https://etherpad.mozilla.org/addon-features-principles>
• -> myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles for jetpack features

irakli to propose manifest strategy for core features using the sdk

• ochameau suggested there should be no manifest for core features
• gozala and warner chatted about it, couldn't decide whether or not it makes sense to have manifest
• there are some notes about it in the packageless proposal
• our current thinking is that core features can go manifestless for the time being
• there could be a separate step for core features to have manifests
• at this point the plan is to not require a manifest for core features
• see the details in the packageless proposal
• but gozala and warner are still thinking about it
• proposal: <https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Packageless>
• -> myk to look at packageless proposal and provide feedback once gozala updates it
