Major Topics for This Week

Application

Front-end

  • Some priorities:
    • Stabilize Fx9 on tablet and phone ASAP
    • Work on backlog of non-theme bugs we have been accumulating (need to triage)
  • Get some QA and User testing on:
    • Webapps
    • Locale Picker
    • Camera
  • Make some decisions on:
    • Flash on demand (front-end patch getting better)
    • UA
    • Featurettes, like the Clear Private Data changes (need to triage)

UX design

  • tablet UI for fx9 pretty much where we want it; two things:
    • prefs/add-ons/downloads styling still to latnd (today?) – get accepted for aurora
    • making a lower FPS throbber for gingerbread/froyo (single core) so that hopefully we can take a higher FPS one on dualcore devices (honeycomb)

Platform Support

Native Front-End

Flash

  • platform support for pre-honeycomb is in
