Hi all,

Given the Music app splitting we have done in time for 2.5 we want to move 
ahead - I think it makes sense to be executed in a “train model” fashion. 
We should start from the top of the list and work through the list.

When I say splitting of the apps, we are looking for the following activities 
to be done:
1. FE/BE split
2. Split views
3. Page transition  

Why did I choose the priority below? - for now we have 2 products that we work 
on: smartphone and TV, but moving forward we need to investigate what are the 
products that make sense for us and when we enter the connected devices market 
3rd party developers need to be able to develop differing views for our core 
apps. 

With this is mind we went through some exercise to define a priority for the 
apps to be ported to the updated architecture.

Priority list:
Settings - this is a key app for any product mozilla may be planning to 
release; different apps will have different needs to display information to the 
user in the settings
Camera  - again a key app for a lot of the modern devices
Contacts - everyone wants to have contacts on their devices - but they need 
different level of information - creating differing views is going to key here
Calendar - as with contacts its critical to have differing views but not as 
high priority as contacts
Gallery  - another core app that every connected device may need to have
E-mail - typing emails on smaller devices will be a problem and therefore 
creating readable email view may be needed for some connected deviceds
Calculator - table stake app
Clock - table stake app
Browser - one of core mozilla apps but a table stake app for some of the 
connected devices

Some of the engineering teams, who have already worked on this split, will be 
reaching out in smaller teams to discuss best practices and quick wins for this 
activity.
