Chris, we have a fairly established software engineering process for our
Firefox products, that includes quality and security update mechanisms.
We are trying to deliver a product on a compressed timeline here.
Re-inventing the Mozilla software engineering process seems not like the
fastest path to get this done. We met over 2 weeks ago and agreed to get
moving on this quickly and start writing code and reconvene to check in
on progress. From what I can tell the
lets-stop-talking-and-start-writing-production-code hasn't happened.
I am afraid that "no production code written, some process discussion"
is a fair summary of the overall work output of the team since our last
meeting. We are still not making good progress. Its really time to move
past discussing the advantages of Github over Bugzilla and the
advantages of security updates the Chris Karlof way over the Mozilla
way. We have a process. It works. We ship software with it every 6
weeks. Learn it. Its not hard. Deal with the shortcomings for now. Ship
the next version of sync with it. Once you know how it works and you
have some experience with it, we would love to hear your feedback, and
we can use that to evolve our process. Until then, lets focus on writing
production code.
Andreas
The motivation is that you have a single, dynamic source for the Auth
front end for all environments where the Web is a first class citizen.
This currently means "login to device" on Firefox Desktop and FxOS,
and login from web content on any platform (look to the future! maybe
near future if we're required to have a web portal to manage/delete
your account, like now). Advantages: code reuse, non-duplication of
bugs and logic, security updates, A/B testing, and consistent UI from
device login to Web login wherever we can get away with it.
