Places:Task List

Tasks

scratch pad of tasks (last updated 9/29/06) in no particular order.

Trunk-no-places work:

• fix trunk regressions caused by disabling places
• review patch from Myk (see patch in bug #353571) and finish backporting non-places changes to trunk
• are microsummaries broken?

UI:

• [sspitzer] per brettw's suggestion, start by implementing the Firefox 2.0 "History" UI on top of Places backend
• implement Firefox 2.0 "Organize Bookmarks" dialog on top of the Places backend
• hide (remove) Places icon from personal toolbar
• implement keywords in places (see bugs #329281 and #318817 for starters)
• restore history and bookmarks sidebar based on places
• restore "Bookmark this Page..." | "Add Bookmark" UI to be like FF2

Performance / Testing:

• fix Tp test to work a profile with history, so that regressions to places that affect link coloring show up on Tinderbox.
• get some performance benchmarks with various history sizes (places vs non-places)
• Places unit tests (see bug #354401)

Synchronization / Remote Bookmarks:

• guids instead of auto-incremented IDs
• guids for separators
• support named separators (like in RDF in FF2)
• document the sync/remote story
• reference implementation of sync client (P2)
• support create date / last modified date for all items
• "tombstoning" of deleted items
• APIs to allow for integration with things like "Clobber" (aka Google Browser Sync)
• APIs to allow for integration with social bookmarking sites, like del.icio.us (see the add on)

API / Data Model / Architecture:

• review Todd's suggestions about the data model
• figure out the url-as-id vs independent id issue
• publish and discuss APIs with google, yahoo, extension authors (Todd from foxmarks, etc)
• is now the time to rename tables, primary keys?
