* Triage for the next Gecko release has begun.  Please see [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/a8053ff2cc46a446# the dev.planning thread] for details on what is next.  A quick summary:
** Component leads should begin marking bugs as blocking alpha (and beta and final if possible).
** Quoting from the thread:
*** Please realize that an alpha release is expected to be at a quality level representing a stabilized trunk nightly: 
*** We should block alphas on things that are obstacles to testing the changes we want tested or are major regressions that would prevent people from using the builds. 
*** In most cases, we should not block on completing particular features or particular high-risk changes, which can always be in the next alpha instead.
*** We're gathering a list of changes we want testing on, and what testing we want for those features, both for this alpha and for future alphas.  See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Dbaron/1.9.3_Alpha
