== Team == | |||
The Workspaces idea is new, so we're happy to get more input and help. Talk to us in #devtools on irc.mozilla.org | |||

* Rob Campbell (irc: robcee): initial developer | |||
* Kevin Dangoor (irc: kdangoor): PM | |||
== Goals/Use Cases == | |||
'''Handy snippets''': When working on an application, it's not uncommon to have a collection of common bits of code that you run against the page to test things. The Workspaces feature lets you load and save JavaScript files, which is a convenient way to keep track of these snippets. | |||
'''Working on new code''': You can use Workspaces to work on a new function. Write a little code, execute it and repeat. Once it works, you can copy/paste that code into your main program files. | |||
== Non-Goals == | |||
For this initial step, we're leaving off some obvious features: | |||
* a better editor (Ace) | |||
* external editor integration of any sort | |||
* autocompletion | |||
