Firefox OS Performance (mlee)
Firefox OS Productivity (doliver)
Last week:
- The first cut at email notifications has landed! https://bugzil.la/892519
- These should be pretty functional, so go ahead and give it a shot. Visit your account settings to turn on notifications for existing accounts.
- New accounts will have the option to turn them on during setup
- Note: as currently implemented, you may find notifications overly enthusiastic -- every new mail will wake up your screen and play a sound. We are working with the systems team this week to see what we can do to add a less exuberant class of notification to use for less urgent cases like this.
This week:
- Work week - Oslo
- Objective is to complete all 1.2 blocking features -- the remaining pieces of notifications and streaming for attachments (https://bugzil.la/871897)
