[Michiel de Jong [:michielbdejong]]

Added https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS_Data_Sync#Sub-product_ideas to list syncto, cloud storage, and kinto.js as three data-sync-related angles we are working on. Will also update in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_OS/Syncto with the architecture and UX ideas we discussed this week.

Wrote a short summary of implementation plans https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Firefox_OS%2FSyncto&diff=1089975&oldid=1082899

Also created https://github.com/mozilla-services/docs/pull/54 to improve sync data format documentation.

I will also write a short walk-through that combines https://docs.services.mozilla.com/sync/storageformat5.html#sync-storageformat5 with https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/wiki/onepw-protocol#-fetching-sync-keys and makes it more understandable why the code of https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxsync-webcrypto/blob/master/fxsync-webcrypto.js does what it does the way it does it.

Here is the architecture figure of Data Sync:
https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/presentation/d/1cUhZWYx2LSDkFcpbcq_uXfaxILqBvuiYHao6og4n1RM/edit?usp=sharing

We can refine it then.

Syncto documentation is now pretty up to date with reality.
