Agenda & Minutes
Roadmap launchpad: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Roadmap
Shift in Meeting Topics
- Tuesday product planning meetings to shift focus on features in the Waiting Room
- Discuss any additions to the project pages relevant to moving forward with those features with the intent of moving them to a targeted release as soon as everyone feels there is enough information
- Good pulse with the Wednesday engineering meetings and Project Management 1:1s with a view of ensuring all release work is on track
- Will keep a standing agenda item to ensure there is time to raise any red flags and hot items that would benefit from a discussion with those in attendance at the Tuesday meetings
Roadmap Review - Engineering
- Product Management is hosting the Engineering Heads to a product-line roadmap review (all products will be reviewed) this Thursday
- Intent is that this becomes a regular feature in the product management calendar
Red Flags / Hot Items
- Any hot items, red flags of important topics to discuss for 21 (GA), 22 (beta) or 23 (aurora)?
- Slovak should make it into b2 for 22
- Dynamic toolbar bugs being worked on
- FHR red flag for Fx 23 release but is moving forward
- Biggest risk: web dev and 'visualization' of search (desktop records search?) but needs privacy and security sign-off
- UX talking about this on Wednesday
- about:home redesign - will be done when done, working on FIG
- Usability testing to be performed on FIG and not on nightly
- 24 too ambitious, can put it in 25 as the earliest achievable
- shumway - stake in the ground keeping it in at 24 but need to mesh both engineering and productization expectations are met
- at risk for 24
- No PiCL MVP timing plan
Roadmap Review - content

- Those who are visual, please see PDF version in your inbox)
- WebAudio api
- Big API for implementation
- Preffed-on in Fx 23 but not the whole API will have landed (some support lands for 23)
- Fx 24 - roll-up of work?
- EL to double-check with Martin
- PushNotification
- May not turn on if spec is in flux at the WC3 level (so will require monitoring)
- Also privileged)
- Payments
- Landed but we don't yet have anything that runs with payments
- Marketing push needs to be documented (privileged)
- Dynamic snippets
- FHR is the conflicting project
- Settings menu should be prio for localization and we can uplift to aurora in 24 if required (marketplace promo) and can slip to 25 if required
- Meta bug that details out what work can be done in parallel without Richard's need?
- WebApp management -> WebApp experience
- Needs the webapp team to sign them off as APKs (which transitions them away from an html5 app experience)
- Tradeoff: treat them as HTML5 webapps, or treat them like native Android apps
- Engineering talked to the WebApps teams about APK synthesis and pulled together some prototypes
- Webview will not be packed: Fx will still act as the runtime
- What needs to be prototyped: privileged apps support, updates, installation, runtime, permissions, ...
- Do we want a fallback (in about:, or widget, or....)
- Guest mode
- Not dependent on PiCL
- WebRTC - preffed on?
- Not supporting 2.2
- Not supporting ARMv6
- When prompts (UI) in place, can we pref it on and collect data as it comes in? Blocklist as needed? Use beta as our testing ground
Feature Review
- What feature to review next week?
Exercise
- Worthwhile to run a SWOT for 20 mins with this team to ensure we all recognize and list our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
- Strengths & Weaknesses: internal to Mozilla (features, resources, core competences, etc)
- Opportunities & Threats: external to Mozilla (industry, competition, etc)
