Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This is a request for the functionality to take a picture from a computer's attached camera and use it in a web application.

2. Users & use cases

  • Take a picture on flickr, or upload from your gallery.
  • Take a profile photo on facebook, or upload from your gallery.
  • Instagram for the web.

3. Dependencies

  • Definition of the experience that we want for developers and users.
  • Requires a solid camera camera API definition for web content.
  • Requires an underlying implementation for capturing from camera devices. (done - anant has volunteered!)
  • Requires someone to put it all together.

4. Requirements

For mobile we should use an external app for performance reasons.

For desktop we should be able to display the image in a canvas for preview and the ability to modify it before uploading it to a server.

Non-goals

This does not include the ability to capture a video and send that video somewhere. This is only for taking a picture.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

`

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

Android support landed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659188 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621915

Desktop bug, with an implementation for gstreamer (rotted, last touched on 2010-10-18):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451674

We will use the GIPS code for this feature on desktop.
