= Overview =
Go Faster is a plan to change the way we ship Firefox for Desktop, and potentially other products. The end goal is to reduce the time it takes to deliver value to the user. This focuses on getting features and fixes to the user on a reduced cycle time, but includes reductions in time to download updates and new versions, and reductions in build and release time.

''DRAFT''
==Schedule==
* Mobile A/B Testing
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/TeamWiki Firefox main release schedule] is the master location for the dates when each Firefox version goes to Aurora, Beta, & Release.
* Downloadable content with Kinto
* System add-ons:
** Hello (45) and Pocket (46) are shipping as system add-ons.
** We shipped our first (signed, no-op) update to the beta channel on Friday, February 26 2016.
* Data updates:
** Finalizing signing now.
** OneCRL is shipping in 47
** AMO blocklist is shipping via Go Faster (Kinto) in 49
* DLC
** Fennec  fonts is shipping in 48

== III: Kinto ==


A JSON storage service with synchronisation and sharing abilitie - allows the smart client to retrieve signed data from a dumb server.


== Goals ==
=== Team ===
* 2016 H1 strategic initiatives:
{| class="wikitable"
* System add-ons
|-
** System add-ons infrastructure complete: Documented, simple, easy to ship/update, easy to localize. (Q2)
! Name !! Role
** Staged rollout of a system addon: With a/b testing (Q2)
|-
** Measurement infrastructure in place: Telemetry for go-faster addons (Q2)
| Tarek Ziade || Owner
** String delivery and updates are decoupled from trains (May tweak the wording here slightly, but essentially l10n work to support Go Faster) (Q2)
|-
* Test Pilot
| Mark Goodwin || OneCRL client, PKI work for the signing
** Test Pilot launch: Release opt-in platform that allows us to perform controlled tests of new high-visibility product concepts in the general release channel of Firefox (Q2)
|-
** Test Pilot metrics dashboard: Metrics dashboard to aid experiment authors in making decisions (Q2)
| Sebastian  || Fennec Client
|-
| Jorge || our customer for the AMO blocklist
|}


* Q1 goals:

* OneCRL
** OneCRL via Kinto into production
* AMO Blocklist and ADI
** Fennec fonts installed on demand (DLC) via Kinto
* Fennec downloadable content
** Scope and prototypes for rollout and telemetry systems
** Test Pilot locale expansion - Nick/Wil
