Garvan, you said eariler that 'the next stable release' would split the backend from the frontend to make the backend usable on Firefox/Android. Did that happen? If so, what new WebAPIs are now available on Fennec? On FirefoxOS, I need to access: navigator.geolocation (already available in Fennec) navigator.mozMobileConnection navigator.mozWifiManager but the last two require elevated permissions, so much so that the app must be hand installed by individual users. Will these API be available? If not, will the functionality be available at another location? Can you tie in permissions to the Android permission system? If so, will that imply that Fennec itself will need access to telephony and wifi at install time? Thanks for clarification.
Garvan's refactoring of MozStumbler into UI and backend modules to share code with Fennec is unrelated to the mozMobileConnection and mozWifiManager WebAPIs. Those WebAPIs wouldn't need Garvan's stumbling code and could be implemented independently. The Fennec team would know better their plans to publish those WebAPIs.
