Status update: Extension Manager UI, Tab matches in Awesomebar

Extension Manager UI Redesign

Status

• Planned for eventual mozilla-central landing - want to get initial parts landed before betas
• Major AMO integration will probably be done as followups
• Have been bringing UI up to speed with changes in mockups
• Started looking at install/updates before realizing it's not in the API yet

Loose ends

• Boriss was away for the latest meeting, need to catch up
• Waiting on project branch to be setup (bug 542910)

Next steps

• UX discussions! UX discussions! UX discussions!
• Implement helper widgets
• Install/uninstall/update/enable/disable
• Search
• Help with API development

Target for next week

• Catch up with Boriss
• Implement various widgets - download progress, ratings, etc
• Start implementing search (only local, until the API supports AMO searching)

Tab matches in Awesomebar

Status

• Refactored UI for better toolkit/browser separation
• Renamed "open tab" concept to the more generic "open page"
• Must remember that adding a constant doesn't mean the interface needs a change of UUID
• Waiting on next review, then SR

Loose ends

• None

Next steps

• Land
• Tackle followup bugs

Target for next week

• Landed on mozilla-central

Reflections

• I need to get better at estimating time required for larger projects
• I'm having far too much fun for this to be considered "work"
