I think this prioritization is exactly right, because the web is instantly 
updatable.  And stuff.  So we have considerably more time.

That said,  I mention this because in more and more conversations, it’s 
becoming obvious that we will need both jelly to support native, AND a web-only 
FxA sign-up / sign-in flow.  Because this is a rather large hole in our current 
story, and because we have a number of talented freeish agents on our team, I 
wonder if it behooves us to fully parallelize this and have some folks 
dedicated to it?

As a starting exploration, we have a fantastic group in Brighton UK right now 
(including ozten, john, dan, shane, francois).  Would it be useful (and not 
distracting) for ongoing FirefoxOS & Sync.next work to focus them on this 
problem to lay down a strategy for what singing into the web looks like?  John 
& ryan have already been thinking about this problem.

In order for them to be successful, I think a set of requirements would be 
useful to generate.  Like quickly running through and saying for each UA, what 
jelly is required.  Then defining a minimal scope for the landing page.  (we’ve 
already gotten requests from QA folks around the org to have a set of acct 
management features accessible.

At a high level, a proposal and some pixels for how FxA on the web works would 
help people understand how we’re building something that works everywhere.
