+Sync is primarily developed in the [[fx-sync|https://hg.mozilla.org/services/fx-sync/]] repository. Things that live there:
+* The Services client libraries in services/crypto/ and services/sync.
+* The Firefox Sync add-on in addon/*
+* The Firefox 3.x and Fennec 1.x UIs for the Sync add-on in ui/*
+=== mozilla-central ===
+mozilla-central is the repository for Firefox and the base repository for other Mozilla-based applications. How mozilla-central is relevant to Sync:
-  mkdir -p ~/moz/hg/services
+* The client library is periodically merged from fx-sync to mozilla-central.
-  cd ~/moz/hg/services

-Check out Mozilla Central, too.
+* The integrated UI for Firefox Sync lives in browser/base/*, along with the rest of the Firefox UI.
