nhirata's raw notes

Server side peices:

• API investigation,
• nice start w/ part of the back end that provides search; will be working on trigger search
• addon side, slowly working on that. A little bit of work on the ui side and then send out
  • will work with fabrice on that part
• write up on platform that could be used
• stablility on that and trying to proto type that
• layout and style for search result page... possibly done by tomorrow
  • front end coding
• Search stuff in separate app; will merge to main app
• email from dianne from user testing/user research land
• hard to just fix stuff; not everything will be relevant; need triage
  • QA asking to be in triage
• UX guys are out (for this meeting)
• UR - PDF on stuff;
  • little stuff, need to get out of prototype
  • broadly usable for lots of people?
  • stuff we have is useful, maybe not in stand alone
  • maybe within firefox
  • need more thought on current value
  • rather than being overwhelmed,

• QA :
  • nhirata to be on vacation from thursday to monday; back tuesday
  • QA busy with fennec
  • Question Should QA test?
    • wait until search is in and the ipad app that stefan plus the add on to test
    • recording the data of web serve that's pushed to server

• Discussion:
  • addon that which makes pancake require no use of sync
    • just log in with browser id, validates the email
    • greatly simplifies the login process
    • can bring in / watch behavior for profile
    • decouples us from sync versionings
    • doesn't worry about passwords or addons, etc.
    • info stored in server; server side is set up
    • currently syncs to sync server then to our server
    • our data (mysql database of urls)
    • not complicated data structures. just urls
    • no encryption on stored data (urls)
    • sent via encryptions

• Stuart:
  • different views of data
  • the ones we want to do automatically
  • we can start it from one that starts for you, and then you start building on it and customizing it, your own view, pinview
  • the default pancake views
  • search is a view;
  • currently search is the main thing
  • whole web; totally about search
  • when addon; search that looks at stuff you're doing
  • scratching the surface
  • doing more over time
  • only one view currently
  • UX guys to to take a look at classifying stuff on web
    • news paper, what are the different sections of it
      • technologies, business, etc.
      • does it make sense to divide them like that?
    • our own views based on that system
    • ~ 10 ? edit/customizable?
    • some more mockups
    • recommended versus pinned?
    • hybrid (my fav) + recommendations?
  • real goal to come up with real things
    • present what user wants 90 % of the time
  • would like pinnable site
    • need to think about more
    • not knowing what the default view should be
  • core funcationality out first
