HTML5 SDK Roadmap

Notes:
HTML5 layout solution
1. not reinvent the wheel, use media queries when possible / if the developer wants
2. give recommendations for layout techniques, frameworks
3. add a simple system for developers who don't want to learn / invest in a complete framework
    or recommend a simple one if appropriate
 * review html5-blocker bugs to see what needs to be landed still
 * review IRC log of this session for feedback

* IDE compliance reporting on JS API usage mapped to declared click app framework
* eval. jshint for use in the qtcreator support module
JS Ubuntu App Platform APIs coming up:
* app lifecyle/state saver
* content hub refactor
* media service
* download manager
* check status of URL dispatcher, and how it can be bound in JS
* U1 app (Aq says we need download manager and content hub for this)
→ <aquarius> I could probably be talked into writing a U1 HTML5 app.

Work items:
* make html5 core app for 14.10
* drive human language translation story for HTML5 apps forward with requirement to support gettext for integration with LP and community: daker, alex abreu
* Update Cordova template to be more Ubuntu-like (e.g replace the Cordova icon, make it do something useful, can be very simple though); create an Ubuntu Cordova template, for when you cordova create <project>, for example
