Labs/F1/AlphaPlan

Q3 goal: F1 release with Facebook, Twitter, Gmail

Things we're deferring

• long tail UI, e.g. long-tail with status.net next release
• long tail email

Risks

• Publishing OAuth app secrets (in particular Twitter)

Coordination Tasks

• Privacy Review (Sid - to be scheduled)
  • Shane to walk Sid through the differences w/ older F1 architecture

• Security Review (curtisk)
  • happened, mostly fine, need to schedule followup items (e.g. injection attack review)
  • will contact curtisk and he will parse out to others as needed

• AMO Review (to be scheduled)
  • DavidA gave Jorge a heads-up, should send him a xpi as soon as the gmail smtp flow is working.

• UDC Review
  • No server-side user data, so not an issue (but need to fill in form).

• Coordination with OpenWebApps: Recommendations from MikeHanson and BenAdida
  • expect that 70% chance no OWA add-on release this quarter, 30% chance release with no WebActivities support.
  • release add-on with no in-web-content APIs exposed
  • name your add-on something other than openwebapps
  • if you use navigator.apps, rename that to navigator.f1apps for now.
  • we'll have to figure out merging with OWA add-on in a few weeks.

Task Breakdown

• Currently works

Facebook

• Currently works

GMail

• Shane to make skeleton OWA app

• Left to do:
  • figure out thumbnail inclusion (mime packaging work)

  • Not sure how problematic access to SMTP ports is on the interwebs
  • No clear way to detect errors in the field. ideas?

Non-Service Specific Dev Tasks

• Strip xpi down to size [shane]

User Testing

• DONE: Bryan to write up usertesting.com scenario (by EOD Monday)
• Shane et al to run usertesting.com tests (by when?)
• Questions to answer:
  • Does the OWA "stuff" get in the way of the Firefox Share experience?
  • What's confusing?

Comms

• Blog Post [david, w/ havi's help]
  • We're branding as Firefox Share (alpha)
  • Explain how this add-on is different from previous version
  • Explain why we're targeting a few major sites, and that we're planning long-tail in a subsequent release
  • Explain about client-side blah blah
  • Note: don't have multi-account setup in this version, sorry
  • Explain no data migration -- need to resetup, re-auth

Risks

• Lots of UI polish still TBD
• Nearly no testing on non-mac platforms so far
• AMO team extremely busy
