== actions from previous meeting == | |||
=== gozala to create a branch containing only the loader in preparation for landing it in firefox === | |||
* didn't manage to get this done yet | |||
=== gozala to finalize proposal for a packageless sdk === | |||
* gozala updated the proposal | |||
* got some additional feedback and should still make some changes | |||
=== myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles for jetpack features === | |||
* hasn't happened yet | |||
=== myk to look at packageless proposal and provide feedback once gozala updates it === | |||
* myk looked at it and provided feedback | |||
* https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-packageless | |||
== schedule for landing jetpack == | |||
* mixedpuppy has been reworking code in share and amigo | |||
* both of those are without any jetpack in them at the moment | |||
* talk has been around landing those, unclear if jetpack stuff will beat the landings | |||
* working without it certainly shows how jetpack is useful to what we do | |||
* loader, page-mods, page-worker, not having to deal with restartlessness | |||
* those are the top four parts of jetpack that provide utility to those projects | |||
* landing the loader is the first step | |||
* next step is to land apis one by one (or two by two, but process will be iterative) | |||
== widgets UX mockups == | |||
* http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/files/addons-in-toolbar-i01/addons-in-toolbar.html | |||
* will be able to put them in the toolbar | |||
* a different type of widget you can put into the location bar | |||
* amigo is adding a regular toolbar button to the right of the location bar | |||
* has dropdown menus but nothing special | |||
* when mixedpuppy was putting buttons in the location bar with jetpack, he just directly injected it into xul | |||
== making the SDK self-hosted == | |||
* https://jetpack.etherpad.mozilla.org/cfx-js | |||
* cfx being written in sdk itself | |||
* we'll do it in iterations | |||
* new tasks will be written in javascript | |||
* gradually existing tasks will be rewritten in javascript | |||
== parallelizing api landings == | |||
* can we parallelize api landings so mixedpuppy can land the ones he needs the most? | |||
* we're trying to avoid landing low-level stuff that we're going to change so people don't use them | |||
* but anyone who wants to use sdk modules as they are now can have their own namespace where they land them and use them from there | |||
* mixedpuppy can start using stuff as it lands; once loader lands | |||
* it would help labs projects quickly generate an addon | |||
* and maybe some way to identify stuff labs projects do a lot | |||
* which gozala could consider for landing in the sdk/firefox | |||
== extensibility == | |||
* a few times we talked about base classes not being extensible | |||
* we explored ideas for allowing subclassing while keeping them secure | |||
* we have now landed a replacement for traits that allows us to do this | |||
* some modules already have it | |||
* uses namespaces <http://jeditoolkit.com/2012/03/15/namespaces.html#post> | |||
* uses Base, a base class that you can subclass | |||
* sugar to do prototypal inheritance | |||
== argentina mozcamp == | |||
* unclear if anyone jetpacky is going | |||
* canuckistani not going | |||
* if no one from jetpack is going, maybe mixedpuppy should talk about jetpack | |||
* canuckistani is organizing road tour after mozcamp | |||
* possible road tourers: canuckistani, thunder, robert niemann, havi, shez | |||
