For desktop we should be able to display the image in a canvas for preview and the ability to modify it before uploading it to a server.
For desktop we should be able to take an image snapshot.
|Feature non-goals=This does not include the ability to capture a video and send that video somewhere.  This is only for taking a picture.

|Feature implementation plan=Mobile bug with file picker:
*Previewing the image in a canvas with the ability to modify it before uploading it to a server;  previewing and modifying the image won't be possible with this implementation ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Camera_API_-_Phase_2_%28getUserMedia%29 Phase 2 ] will eventually provide that functionality).
|Feature ux design=[http://people.mozilla.com/~jboriss/specs/first_spec.png First iteration design specification]

Main bug for desktop: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692955 Bug 692955]


Desktop bug, with an implementation for gstreamer (rotted, last touched on 2010-10-18):
Currently waiting on three things to happen for desktop:


https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451674
* Implementation of the Chrome UI (fabrice)
* Implementation of the in-page UI (mounir or dholbert)
* WebRTC integration and landing (jesup):
** Landing Windows build support (ted)
** Pruning code base for image capture (as needed) (jesup)
** Legal review (under way, no problems expected)
** Security review of code paths needed for image capture (jesup, curtis)
** Picking a 'stable point' in WebRTC upstream to use as the mergepoint (jesup)
** Landing review of the capture code from webrtc (jesup)
** Post-landing testing and debugging (jesup, fabrice, qa, etc)


Anant is willing to pull the capture part of the GIPS code out so we can use it for this feature.
Ignore stuff below this line, here for history only.
