Validation Stage (Julie/Preeti)
|
On Target
|
The Project Link research study originally targeted the busy family segment and tested the following hypotheses:
- The busy families want an easy way to help them with personalized reminders & memos for various people in their household. PROVED
- The busy families want a way their children can interact with a device that can help with homework DISPROVED
- The busy families want a simple way to order groceries (etc.) & get it delivered without having to use a screen no matter whether they are home or away. PROVED
- The busy families want an easy way for everyone in their household to listen to music without any supervision or screen time. PROVED
Next steps:
Target the “Busy Mom” (segment refined after analyzing the study results)
- Support a way to interact with Link using Voice
- Implement a 3rd party voice solution - Voice research results were presented to the team last week.
Focus on the “Organize & Coordination” theme
- Reminders
- Schedule coordination
- To-Do List (may be)
Develop our MVP in London
Link team is simultaneously investigating collaborations or partnerships with 3rd parties.

- Creating an ambient method of communicating for 12 to 15 year old girls will create fewer interruptions that distract them from being in the moment at home and at school and improve their personal connections.
Project Name change
- New official name for the project is "Project Haiku". We are right now replacing all the references in Wiki, GitHub... (More info in this tracking document)
- In June a blog post will be published communicating officially the change.
Research update
- Our User Study finished last week (May 29th) after 5 days of User Research. Here you can find some team thoughts on observing the "unboxing"experience
- The team did a first analysis of the individual pre-interviews with the girls to find out patterns and motivations in existing communication methods used by the girls (before the experiment)
- Prototypes and Diaries were picked up Liz and Katie ran the post-interviews with each couple of girls
- Metrics and Data Patterns gathered in the study were analyzed to share the top Level findings per pair, per device, and overall. They were used to develop specific questions for each of the pairs/girls during the post-interviews
- We’re planning to have some preliminary findings to share in London.
Development
- The team is also working on new enhancements or pending tasks that could improve the prototype performance in case of running another user study (detailed list)

Done
|
- Smartphone Code Transition Wiki
- The code transition is considered done, and it is being transitioned to the volunteer community at this point. All staff work will halt at the end of this week after the following loose ends are tied up:
- Work to modernize C++ infrastructure for B2G, or it won't build any longer. There's a patch which requires a bit more testing and cleanup before the review.
- Need to get the Dialer fully working. Can't receive calls due to issue with system messages.
- Still need green up tests before merging pine on mozilla central.
