Places:Task List

scratch pad of tasks (last updated 10/02/06) in no particular order.

Discussion / Announcements:

[sspitzer] post places kickoff message to mozilla.dev.apps.firefox
[all] will be posting to and discussing places in ff3 on mozilla.dev.apps.firefox and on the wiki
[all] developers hanging out in #places

Trunk-no-places work:

[sspitzer] fix trunk regressions caused by disabling places, query status whiteboard for "non-places-regression"
[dietrich sspitzer] review patch from Myk (see patch in bug #353571) and finish backporting non-places changes to trunk (only covers mozilla/browser/components/bookmarks/)
[dietrich sspitzer] review other MOZ_PLACES parts of the tree to look for things that may have fallen through the cracks. see bug #353571.

UI:

[dietrich sspitzer] per brettw's suggestion, start by implementing the Firefox 2.0 "History" UI on top of Places backend. Start by logging a meta bug and then log bugs for each part, add swag.
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:

[sspitzer] fix Tp test to work a profile with history, so that regressions to places that affect link coloring show up on Tinderbox.
[sspitzer] get some performance benchmarks with various history sizes (places vs non-places)
[dietrich] 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?
