| Article Idea | Product Areas | Links | Notes |
| RequestSync API | Firefox OS | bug 1018320 | No MDN docs yet, shipping in FxOS 2.2 likely. Baku was fine with re-publishing his post on Hacks. Dietrich connected Baku (Andrea M) to Havi. Post on hold until the API is shipping. |

| Bluetooth Data Channels | Firefox OS / IoT | Article on BT-as-transport-layer for mesh and disconnected msging. Who to contact? | |
| Gallery Scrollview Architecture | Firefox OS | Ask DJF? Something iOS/Android do well, but SUPER hard to do well on Web. | |

| Payments API | Firefox OS, Firefox (soon) | Kumar did an intro, but we need to push on it's story. How have people actually used it? Testimonial stories from devs who've implemented would be dope.

I've modified and translated it in English, with lots of additional information & links. (Greg Weng) | |
