Betafarm
Betafarm is an effort to create a single home for Mozilla Innovation projects. It is a website that will promote projects from Mozilla Labs, the Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla Research as well as the larger Mozilla Community. Users of the website will be encouraged to get involved by being able to track Mozilla events and respond to challenges (specific calls to action \-\- see the Knight Mozilla News Partnership). The larger goal being explored is to create a social, engaging web experience for people interested in innovation at Mozilla.

Deuxdrop
Experiment in private messaging between one or more people using encryption and allowing for federation. Focused on mobile first, with shorter on-the-go messaging, but the platform should allow for longer form messaging later.
The mobile target is similar to BlackBerry Messenger or iMessage, but using an encrypted/federated back-end and a web-technologies based "smart" client (eventually PhoneGap style, current targeting a Mobile Firefox add-on).

- People: Andrew Sutherland (:asuth), James Burke (:jrburke), Bryan Clark (:clarkbw)
Next Major Milestone (Goal)

Done this Week
note: asuth on holiday part of this week, all of next week.
- (Non-fake) Moda API layer:
- Live query updates work and pass test for peeps, although index retrieval/update semantics need more tests and likely minor fixes.
- Jetpack target:
- IndexedDB shim for hbase semantics; unit test for redis impl to use to test IndexedDB impl
Next up
- (Non-fake) Moda API-layer:
- Complete implementation and unit test conversation summary and in-full queries.
- Make all queries support updating with events including index updates (with unit tests.)
- Hook UI up to the non-fake moda API layer. This needs to happen in the Jetpack, which will also require:
- jsctypes binding for (djb) nacl crypto library
- Completed IndexedDB database shim.
