- Customization
- Fixed some bugs that were causing widgets to not appear in the right place after session restore
- Have a working version of the bookmarks widget, based on mak's work in bug 748894
- Milestone 2 is due tomorrow
- We're going to slip our goal of "getting all of the widgets finished", which was far too aggressive. Still, this was a useful pair of weeks, since we forced ourselves to answer a lot of questions about how widgets will work, and which ones we'll build.
- Milestone 3 begins
- The goal is to lay out a plan for how old customizations will be migrated (multiple custom toolbars, tons of add-on buttons, everything moved all over the place)
- We're meeting with the Jetpack team to discuss the API for add-ons to register / build widgets.
- Tabs
- For the current milestone, we're looking at getting the lightweight theme patch de-bitrotted and performance-tested
- MattN can give more details on this
- For the current milestone, we're looking at getting the lightweight theme patch de-bitrotted and performance-tested
- Downloads panel
- shorlander gave me a super detailed alignment spec for the downloads panel, so now the ball is in my court to find time to clean up the panel alignment (or, more likely, see if I can solicit some outside contributors to knock this one out).
Blocking
- Bookmarks widget is blocked by mak's patch in bug 748894
