* Who is the list of people provided on the Thunderbird by Mozilla? See the [[Thunderbird/Proposal:_New_Release_and_Governance_Model#Release_drivers_roles|proposed governance model]] | |||
* Are the ADU stats for Thunderbird going to be public? | |||
** We are working with the metrics team as to what can be made public | |||
* Can we share income information of Thunderbird at as a whole? | |||
** JB will discuss internally. | |||
* In the past, Beta has been the pre-release version of the software, but now it is more of an early-adopter, could we promote it as such? | |||
