Minutes

• E10S Integration update
  • http://github.com/toolness/jetpack-e10s (with pictures!)
  • Atul wants feedback from module authors: especially dietrich and adw
  • much discussion about 3.6/4.0 compatibility, using modules from both add-on and chrome code
  • proposal raised to drop 3.6 compatibility. At least drop 3.6-compat as a requirement: it might be 3.6-compatible, by accident, but we don't need to require that.

• Flightdeck 1.0a5 status
  • has a blocker (594211), server might be running the wrong code, Piotr will work with Zandr to figure it out
  • Piotr is working with AMO team to integrate FlightDeck into AMO, including moving from Labs hardware to AMO hardware (builder.addons.mozilla.org), which means a security review.
  • working on security bugs from that review
  • Will and Daniel will own it after handoff

• SDK 0.8 status
  • E10S-compat for Widget: miss
  • E10S-compat for Private Browsing: miss
  • high-vs-low-level modules: at risk, might still happen
  • enforce manifest: done
  • identify dependencies by relative path: at risk
  • Places, E10S-compat for ContextMenu, Prompting Notifications: miss (competing with FF4 work)
  • E10S-compat for PageMods: irakli is splitting patch into pieces for review, still at risk
  • Sidebar: miss, E10S work is more important
  • PageMods (non-E10S): done
  • E10S-compat for PageWorker: done (last week)
  • rename product to "Add-on SDK": at risk (but patch up for review)

• based on the misses, let's not call 0.8 a "beta". We need one more cycle.
  • Too many API changes are still pending
    • E10S-compat -caused API changes
    • changes to event-listener patterns
    • changes to singleton-registry services (resig's comments, adw's proposal) i.e. just construct a Panel, don't construct+register
  • therefore, let's not push on renaming 0.8 to "Add-on SDK"

• roundtable
  • git/github: delay switch until after the first beta release
    • Scott (from github.com) says 2nd week of october looks good for some on-site training
  • reviewing patches: please jump in! Myk in particular is buried in r?
  • Jetpack promotion video: 5min demo of flightdeck+SDK in the works (based upon Myk's summit demo)
  • Irakli: he's updated some bugs with notes about CommonJS compatbility, require() names can have namespaces
