   Browser app progress being tracked on a spreadsheet with linked Github issues https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av1UnKL6lZaadDlPR3UwRXVNb2VMNWpKSTBsSWMxSUE

   [Tim] Keyboard vs Google.com bug https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/1321 can be fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755648 but is blocked by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759017

Camera (DJF, Frank) 

   Waiting on the camera API.  I don't actually know the bug number... Should check on its status.

Calendar (James, Frank) 

   New contributor looking ot help out. Going to itemize remaining items and put them into issues on github.

   [hernan] Dan and I contacted James, will start working on this (contributors)

Clock (Ian, ?) 

   [Ian] Implement a prototype layout for alarm feature and integrate with WebAPI of alarm if ready.

   [Ian] Plan to have a conception of hour/minute increments widget.

   [Josh] Have connected Frank & their team. Ideally will have someone from TF UX side involved as well.

   [Josh] Tim is exploring how we surface this on Lock Screen (has posted to dev-gaia).

   [Tim] should be done by "attention screen", 

   [hernan] Some mockups in the making by Federico

Contacts (Etienne, Josh) 

   Favorites landed

   No progress on the new UI yet

   [Josh] extensive documentation is available from Telefonica, within their "Coms" app. Currently at

Dialer (Etienne, Josh) 

   No progress on the new UI yet

Email (Andrew, Nekr, Casey) 

   rewritten UI workin': http://email.gaia.visophyte.org/ (not trunk, just an example from a recent checkout, needs more recent firefox, click the fake account button, not real ones).  Code lives on https://github.com/asutherland/gaia/tree/email2 for now, until we land.

   backend progress: persistence logic unit tests passing, next up is sync unit tests with actual IMAP server, IMAP mutations

   checked top mail services in Brazil, nearly all support IMAP AFAICT

   overall status: IMAP can show mails (no persistence, very soon), compose can create and send mails

   dependency: MozTCPSocket still needs to complete review and land before we land, at least if we want anything useful happening.  We are not blocking on this yet; want the persistence working.

FM Radio (Pin, TF) 

   Posted the API proposals to the mozilla.dev.webapi forum, discussed with public and got some comments.

   [Josh] Same comments as per Clock: have connected them w/ Frank Lee, and would like to also have someone from TF UX involved.
