    • 2/28:
      • Gaia start to implement user story for mount/unmount. "storageStatus" API is landed(bug 971615). Mount/Unmount API is still on working(bug 971612).

      • WIP patch for the user story(https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/16981). The mount/unmount API is working fine. But the status which is gotten via storageStatus() API not accurately. Will need Gecko to provide follow up work(bug 943825).
      • Not ready items:
        • The event trigger time is not reflect to storageStatus() of volume action.
        • Need to provide accurate status(might not an async function or Dom API).
        • SD card is not able to insert/remove on reference phone. Will need API provide property for query "CanBeFormatted", "CanBeMounted" and "CanBeShared".

Media Transfer Protocol (1.4, targeted, device)

  • Project manager: Wesley
  • Bug: bug b2g-nfc
  • Developers: Alive (consultant, review), Greg (consultant), Evelyn (consultant)
  • Status (2013-03-11): The last week meeting Ken clarify some lading issues under the current ver1.4 landing policy. That is, the existing NFC patches would not be back out, and Gaia parts can be landed in bubble-tea. One potential problem is we can't get Gecko work like this, so if a patch require both Gaia and Gecko parts, we would get stuck. Would trying to solve some bugs reported by John (bug 959048, bug 959052). Greg has discovered that the bug 959059 is caused by NFC manager or other components, and the ShrinkingUI works correctly.
