QA

Reporter:

• Can we make Gaia completely hosted? Use cases, secure model, etc.
  • Low-level details of updating; chances to provide more opportunities to develop Gaia in new way
  • ServiceWorker: how it works when it links to a DIV(?) (need more details)
  • Persistent: Gecko would forcibly update it when it changed, so client code may encounter troubles
• High-level Risks of moving to hosted apps:
  • https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/B2G/PermissionReview/Hostedrisks
• Store data in cloud
  • data will be encrypted
    • how (FxA federated keys etc)?
• (about the partially shutdown)
  • (from Performance team)
    • Binding to 'visibility' may leave the system in unstable state
    • How about other survivors? If they're waiting the dead worker we may have lots of trouble.
• What about the current apps?
  • We're not going to force all apps use the new architecture
  • It's not going to break how the current things works
  • third-party devs don't have to use it
  • It's better to know that, but it's not a requirement.
