Main Issues

This section still includes items from last week, Standard8 will update

• davida pointed out that pace seems slow
  • what happens if we don't get enough wanted bugs?
    • go forward as planned
    • insert milestone (and rename?)
    • bug owners requested to
      • update status whiteboard of blocking & wanted bugs
      • focus on bugs with string changes
    • drivers to discuss further thursday
• 3 blockers with no owner:
  • bug 429118 Thunderbird inline spell check broken
  • bug 430762 Start page for Alpha/Beta builds - is this a dup?
    • davida & Standard8 to discuss post meeting
  • bug 451257 Using "Edit as new" for random messages sometimes crashes Thunderbird [@ pixman_malloc_abc]
    • hopefully crash-stats return in the next week or two will give us insight here
• L10N builds at risk:
  • mozilla-central currently has no automated L10N builds
  • Uncertain as to current capability to do L10N builds for Thunderbird
  • No instructions for L10N builds from comm-central
  • no L10N dashboard (i.e. compare locales)
  • if the infrastructure doesn't come together, should skip string freeze and possibly l10n builds for this milestone rather than slipping
  • davida/kairo will keep an eye on l10n discussion in Fx product meeting
• String Freeze - Are we on course to get string changes in for next week?
  • Account Configuration bug 422814
    • At the very least, cert-auth is at risk
  • Password Manager bug 239131
    • May not make it, although FF password manager should already be localised for most folks, the preference pane changes are still outstanding.
  • Gloda bug 450494
    • davida: relatively few strings, need to be concerned about UI for upgrading
  • Inline card dialog bug 450724
    • Standard8: on track
  • Improved Message Reader View bug 449691
    • dmose: mostly on track, some risk, looks to be easy to split and land partially
