Details

Probably the biggest difference between existing Sync clients (Desktop, Android and even iOS) and Firefox OS is that part of the data to be synchronized doesn't live on the chrome side. For example, bookmarks and history are stored on separated DataStores. We need a way to feed the Sync client with this data and a way to be notified about remote changes on this data so the local copy can be updated accordingly.
Blocks: fxos-sync
This API must run on workers, so it can be used along with the BackgroundSync API [1]

Component: General → Sync
Instead of directly implementing a Sync client for FxOS, we are going to use a Kinto based service [1] to store FxOS related data and this service will handle the synchronization with the Firefox Sync servers. So we won't don't need this piece for now.
