Jetpack Features is a working group exploring the feasibility of shipping core Firefox features as default addons built with the Add-on SDK. It is open to all Mozilla community members with an interest in and aptitude for the subject.
Principles

THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT |

| The page may be difficult to navigate, and some information on its subject might be incomplete and/or evolving rapidly. If you have any questions or ideas, please add them as a new topic on the discussion page. |
We think Jetpack is a better way to develop many Firefox features.
- Its modularity, both at the feature level and internally, through its use of standards-based JavaScript modules, makes it easier for contributors to get started, get up-to-speed on the codebase, make progress, and share code with other projects.
- It causes Firefox developers to eat their own dogfood, encouraging the growth and sustenance of a robust, first-class addon platform.
- It enables Firefox features to be built and enabled selectively, giving distributors and users more options for customizing the browser to better meet user needs.
Discussions
Group discussions happen in three places:
- #fx-team IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org
- dev.apps.firefox discussion forum
- meetings (see below)
Meetings
The group meets every other week on a regular schedule via audio/video conferencing to discuss progress and identify next steps. The meeting facilitator announces upcoming meetings in the dev.planning discussion forum and posts notes for each meeting—including an agenda, a list of attendees, and minutes—to this page.
