Firefox/Projects/Multitouch Polish
Overview
Sprint lead: Felipe (felipc)
Sprinters: felipc, rs, (robarnold), jmathies
ETA: 2 weeks
- Description
- Identify roadmap for multitouch work
- Identify what already works and what does not
- Make sure there is consistency in the touch behavior
- Make sure it's usable
- do ground work to be able to move forward with the touch input and future experimentations
- fix top 3 problems
Goals / Use Cases
In this sprint we'll work on identifying which are the current major problems on the multitouch feature that mostly degrades the usability and multitouch experience. We are investigating the main use cases of touch interactions and checking if they are consistent accross the browser/OS, if they provide a good experience, etc.
Also we'll keep doing the ground work to fix the current bugs to make sure the touch works. Felipe is using the touch tablet daily to `fell the pain` on browsing the web using a touch interface.
Non Goals
Eventually after we get the basics running we will want to think on other areas as:
- how can we provide a way to customize the touch experience and/or using it beyond the basic click/scroll usage
- what are some changes we can do on the theme and UI thinking on a touch experience (instead of the traditional mouse/keyboard experience)
- how can addons/webpages make use of this new technology; how can it be standardized
