N.B., all the substantive results of the Etherpadding should be in the feature page or in individual tracked bugs; Etherpad is volatile.

If you find something that's not captured somewhere stable, please capture it!

Quick status update as I'm uploading patches (some of them WIPs) for a few bugs. "J-PAKE first" is implemented and the more concise flows for some scenarios are being finalized. My patch queue looks like this right now:

There's mostly UI work that needs touching up and some of the strings aren't finalized yet (a lot of them need to be updated to the new "pair" terminology). The logic is all in place, though it may not have all tests in place yet. I'm treating this set as a unit. Stuff that's missing from this and we will do as a follow-up at any point:

* progress bars (bug 675822, bug 675824; owned by Ally)
* links on home tabs (bug 675820, bug 675821; owned by Ally)
* using mobile to set up another device (bug 624028)
* window/app-modal UI (no bug yet)

(Actually, there is a bug: bug 683000)

These have landed in their final incarnation on services-central and will be part of the upcoming s-c hand-off to QA. It's not impossible that there will be some fall out from QA testing that we'll have to address either in those bugs or in follow-ups.

Note that some of the UX is a bit clunky right now until we get the progress bars and links on the desktop home tab (Ally already landed bug 675820 for the mobile home tab.) Also, some of the strings may not be final yet. It is still very much a work in progress.

Will tackle bug 624028 next.

Tying this into the FxA Sync meta bug.

Mostly obsoleted by FxA. Hurrah!
