 == What is the UX branch? ==
-{{Note|The UX Branch is currently reserved for Australis dogfooding. Only finalized and reviewed Australis patches to merge to mozilla-central should land here. Some of the info below doesn't currently apply.}}
+The UX branch is a project branch for landing experimental UX changes before they are ready to land on mozilla-central. Developers can use this branch to gather feedback on un-reviewed patches and work with the UX team to iterate on UX design. After a final design is reached, patches would go through the normal review process before landing on mozilla-central.

 == What are the rules for the UX branch? ==
+* When a patch for the UX branch is checked in, the bug's whiteboard should be updated with the phrase '[ux-branch]' (minus the single quotes).
-* When you land a patch, add it to the [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/ux-branch UX branch etherpad]. You should include:
-** Your name
-** Bug number
-** Changeset link
-** Any additional comments
-* <s>If you iterate on your patch, you should backout your original changeset and re-land a new patch. This makes patches easy to track and prepares them for the normal review process.</s>
-* <s>When you push to the UX branch, you should be a good citizen and merge mozilla-central into the branch.</s>
-* Back out your patch when it lands on mozilla-central.
-* Your patch should not cause test failures on the [https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=UX UX branch TBPL]. Patches that cause unaddressed test failures will be backed out after 24 hours.
 == What if I have questions? ==
-You can ask for help in #ux on irc.mozilla.org.
