Feature Id	Status	Description	Links
UE-001	NS	Registration: User can choose to setup a Weave account to backup and synchronize their data. The task flow will be similar to the desktop but will be simpler given device limitations; select login, password, email, and encryption passphrase.	Bug Entries
UE-002	NS	Login/Status: Login status will be displayed in a conspicuous location (e.g. upper-right of Fennec title bar). Users will login (if not already) into their account and can choose to be remembered. Once logged in, user's login id is displayed in the status area.	Bug Entries
UE-003	NS	Accessing User Data: Bookmarks and history will be integrated into Fennec awesome bar/drop down with appropriate notations (e.g. star for bookmark). Tabs will appear in the Fennec tab list. Users can continue their desktop session by selecting the appropriate tab.	Bug Entries
UE-004	NS	Manage Preferences: Fennec preferences will provide users access and editing of Weave specific preferences. At a minimum, this will include account prefs (passwords, connection, sync frequency, last sync status) and data prefs (data types).	Bug Entries
Sharing and Sync	User data will be synchronized in both directions between desktop and Fennec. No sharing is offered in this release.

SHR-001	NS	Data Sets: By default, Bookmarks, History, Tabs, Cookies, Passwords, and Forms data will be synchronized with the server and accessible from desktop and Fennec. User can modify their preference to select which subset should be synchronized to the server. To prevent user confusion, the data set preference settings are also synchronized i.e. the sync'ed data sets are the same on the desktop and device. Modifying the settings on desktop will reflect on the device and vice-versa.	Sample Links
SHR-002	NS	Sync Options: User may modify sync frequency, handling conflicts (e.g. desktop wins, device wins) and an option to sync immediately. These options will be available in preferences.	Sample Links
Security and Privacy	Users must login to their Weave accounts to continue their session and access user data. It is likely that most users will experience Weave initially through Fennec rather than the desktop. Thus users will be allowed to register and set up an account (messaged appropriately).
