General

• Daylight Savings Time ends in North America next weekend, so this meeting will be moving to 17:30 UTC-5, aka 22:30 UTC.
• What are our goals? What should we be working on first/preferentially? What takes a back seat, if we work on it at all?
  • Answer: Our goals are: Electrolysis and out-of-process plugins, crashes, and performance, maybe in that order.
  • If you have questions about our priorities, please check out Q4 goals.
  • Everyone should be willing to question what other people's priorities are -- why they are working on something in particular -- and to not get upset about being questioned on that.
  • Bubble up your concerns and ideas; if you don't know whether something is important, or what's more important, let's talk about it - talk in this group, talk with Damon, write to dev-planning, but make sure we're working on the right stuff.
• Should/can we move this meeting to 2:15 Pacific to help accommodate the CrashKill meetings?
