I think we should remove the "full getUserMedia backend working on
Android" goal for Q3. (I've quoted the current goal list below for
reference.)
Reasoning:
Even if we remove the UI piece of this goal, there's the potential for a
fair bit of work to get the Android backend working. We would need to
either get the core code from webrtc.org working on Android or write an
equivalent backend using the NDK, which would likely go away after we
landed WebRTC for Android. Landing part of WebRTC for Android is not a
Q3 goal, and nothing should depend on that happening. Anant is going to
explore implementing getUserMedia using the NDK; if that turns out to
be fairly straightforward and not too time consuming, we may do that for
Q3. But if it's not, we don't want to do that work for Q3. Getting
WebRTC for desktop landed on mozilla-central is a top priority, and
since full getUserMedia for Android and WebRTC for desktop would share
some developers, I and several other WebRTC team members think it makes
sense to just remove the Q3 Android getUserMedia goal.
Thanks!

Q3 Media Goals:
* WebRTC (tracking the W3C and IETF webrtc/rtcweb specs) landed for
desktop in mozilla-central (This includes both PeerConnection and full
getUserMedia, but not UI -- UI will be a goal for the Firefox team)
* Platform decoders running on the Otoro device will playback videos
at a similar performance metric to the equivalent android player
* For a specific list of Android phones (the list will be the "first
phase" of Android phones), platform decoders running in Firefox will
playback videos at a similar performance metric to the videos playing
back in the default browser on the same phone
* Get the full getUserMedia backend working on Android (we need at
least one Android dev to work with us on this -- I will make sure the
Android team can support this in Q3, else we should/will drop this for
Q3)
* Publish (to one or more of our newsgroups) a plan for supporting the
Web Audio API (or at least the pieces of the API we want to support in
the near term)
Mission Note: The media team will support B2G's efforts to ship B2G
version 1 above any goals for this quarter.
