During previous fxos addon development experience, I feel its a good way to make more personality to the device.
Currently we just let developer try and error to findout the possibilities. I believe some addon ideas are already in consideration from functional teams (ex more quick settings, email plugins). Some of them might useful but hard to implement as addon with current gaia implementation.(ex: extend text selection menu functions) Therefore I'd like raise a question: should we suggest and select to implement some addon hook points for 2.6? so we can 1. unlock some possibilities that no other OS has been before 2. better documentation and marketing, help addon devs to bring great personality to users in the area we feel more important during 2.6 3. address and schedule them in dev cycle, we could improve the quality of gaia as an infrastructure. Below are suggest hookpoint list and reason: ---------------- 1. text selection actions allow addon to intercept selected text and make meanningful actions. Ex: search, find definition 2. Rocketbar instant suggestions allow addon to intercept inputed text and pop related suggestion or result. Ex: weather in orlando, map disney swan hotel (does that reminds anyone the ubiquity addon(2008-2010) from mozilla lab?) -- Sent from Firefox OS Fred _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
