Meeting Notes
- WebSMS
- Did some revisions to spec for the delete method, implemented these changes
- GetMessage fully implemented with request object
- GetMessages next
- Testing
- Testing is currently done by actually sending messages
- For receiving messages we can command-line util which can fake an incoming message
- We can probably use libril to fake a network deamon and that way hook into the lowest level. Libril is used for both phone and SMS so should let us test both.
- This will only work on B2G, not android
- Kyle will be working with libril in the comming week
- On android, hook in as low as possible. Won't be perfect, but will allow us to test the DOM code.
- Could add just an interface to production code. Implement that interface using an addon installed during testing
- WebTelephony
- Have a fake UI
- Have DOM part (API frontend)
- Working on fake faux-phone backend as to be able to test anything
- faux-phone needed to actually implement phone backend
- Filesystem
- No status update
- Battery/Network connectivity
- Will start working with W3C on standard very quickly. Likely won't need to do lots of experimenting since they are simple
- Camera
- Fabrice working on implementation for firefox mobile
- Code is ready for taking still pictures, waiting for review
- Should land for Firefox 9
- OpenWebApps
- Waiting for XPConnect refactor that bholley is working on. Waiting for reviews
- Other patches also waiting for review
- Pages will be able to install/launch/list/check-if-installed webapps (see API at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/OpenWebApps/The_JavaScript_API)
- No UI exposing installed apps yet. Idea is that pages themselves can create dashboards
