| 3 | 1. Background on code/project/build |
||
| 4 | BUILD- |
||
| 5 | - The Orfox code is currently almost the exact replica of Fennec and the build instructions can be found at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Building_Fennec. Once successfully built, this source produces a folder named android_eclipse which is where the main Fennec Browser app code is present. |

| 7 | 2. Proposed Changes |
||
| 8 | bb4f9069 | n8fr8 | - The aim of Orfox is to match the specs of the tor browser bundle for the desktop. |
| 9 | We plan on making it an almost exact replica of the desktop app in order to provide |
||
| 10 | a similar user experience to people who have been using the desktop browser. |
||
| 11 | This newly implemented browser would hopefully be a replacement application to |
||
| 12 | the current Orweb app that we have. |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | We will match the Tor Browser design and re-use code/patches when at all possible: |

| 17 | Match Tor Browser Desktop spec: |
||
| 18 | - Bundling Add-ons: HTTPS Everywhere, No Script, Clean Exit |
||

| 20 | Android-specific changes: |
||

| 23 | 3. Build/release process |
||
| 24 | The build release cycle still has to be decided. |
