== Notes == | |||
* WebSMS | |||
** GetMessages finished | |||
** Last part of API, so initial impl finished | |||
** Needs cleanup and tests still | |||
* WebUSB | |||
** Little progress on windows side with previous approach of using windows 7 usb device redirection API - turns out API is not actually intended for use from user mode applications | |||
** Need to write a kernel mode USB filter driver in order to properly enumerate devices and replace their drivers at runtime. Few working examples of this available in the wild as open-source, and documentation is not great. | |||
** May still be possible to use the Microsoft user-mode USB stack for actual device interaction and only rely on our custom driver for enumeration and driver installation. | |||
* WebTelephony | |||
** Have test-phone extension written. Pretends to implement a phone which can be used for testing | |||
** For B2G we now have access to the radio. | |||
** Soon will have access to push and receive events. | |||
* QA | |||
** John Hammink will help us on the testing side. | |||
* Filesystem | |||
** Lots of progress | |||
* Battery | |||
** Have a API proposal different from DAPs proposal | |||
** Have an implementation of our suggested API for android | |||
** Mounir can look at linux too, need help for other platforms | |||
* Network connectivity | |||
** No-one has started working on this yet | |||
** W3C has set up a task force which we will join | |||
* Camera | |||
** has landed on Android but is currently pref'd off | |||
* Security Model | |||
** We're starting to formulate initial thoughts for what the security model will look like | |||
** addons.mozilla.org will soon support installing OWA apps. Hopefully we can use that as platform to enable experimental installable apps which have access to sensitive APIs. | |||
