- synchronous re-entrant message ports needed for Shumway
- khuey going to work on this

- locale-based sorting in IDB for DataStore
- Jonas suggests Ben Kelly may be interested in doing this
- will need API design and implementation
- Network Information API
- Gene and Fernando will work on the API, Marcos is doing use case design
- Jonas thinks we should expose the connection type and the bandwidth number for mobile connections
- Gene says that exposing the bandwidth number is not implementable on all platforms
- Jonas thinks that we should use a combination of known bandwidth values per connection type and also gathering connection statistics from network requests handled by Gecko
- We're worried about exposing wifi versus data
- Marcos wants to know more about the use cases, directly from developers
