Firebug.next

Planning: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/firebug-next
Repo: https://github.com/firebug/firebug.next
Issue list: everyone agrees to use gihub.com issue list
- We should start with internals issue. Existing Firebug users should still use code.google.com
- Christoph: firebug.io is able to pull issues from different lists and show/sort them at the same time. This would help a lot in case we need to maintain two lists for some time.
IRC: #jetpack channel

Next steps:
- Everyone: should install run Firebug.next
- Everyone: learn the current Firebug.next code base
- Everyone: play with Add-ons SDK and DevTools SDK (devtools branch)
- Everyone: learn test API
- Honza: putting together a list of first tasks.
