Action Items

Highlights / Notices

Please add notes for issues you'd like to bring to everyone's attention!

• With each release for the Firefox 4 Beta, we will be asking for feedback on different features, bugs, crash causes, messaging, etc. using various different quantitative and qualitative feedback channels. We need your help in identifying what questions to ask the community and how to prioritize them.
  • For feedback requests for FF4 Beta, please fill out this form
• The Jetpack team is in the process of putting together a list of the platform dependencies we've recently identified. A draft of the list is available. If you are a platform/Firefox driver or engineer, Myk or others on the Jetpack team may contact you about items on the list in the near future.
• Axel did a local dashboard preparing for the 1.9.3 branch, comparing missing strings of l10n-mozilla-1.9.2 and l10n-central against mozilla-central. It looks like we should branch 32 locales from central, and 47 from 1.9.2. We suggest to not branch locales that are not building (15). en-ZA, hy-AM, ms, ne-NP, nr, nso, rw, ss, st, tn, ts, ve, x-testing, xh, zu are those. Probably branch x-testing, I expect to build hy-AM and nso soon, leaving 13 inactive repos behind.
