 == 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? ==
-* The UX branch is currently being used as a staging ground for the upcoming Australis feature set.
+* 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).
-* All patches that land on the UX branch need to follow the same review process that patches destined for mozilla-central need to follow.
-* When a patch for the UX branch is checked in, the bug's whiteboard should be updated with the phrase '[fixed-in-ux]' (minus the single quotes).
-** You can refer to https://people.mozilla.com/~mnoorenberghe/australis/ for the Australis dashboard to see which bugs have higher priorities and the status of all Australis bugs. This site is recommended as it treats [fixed-in-ux] bugs as fixed, whereas generic Bugzilla queries won't.
 == What if I have questions? ==
-You can ask for help in #ux on irc.mozilla.org.
+You can ask for help in #ux or #fx-team on irc.mozilla.org. Particularly, you may want to message the following people on IRC: mconley, jaws, MattN, Gijs, Unfocused, mikedeboer, or shorlander.
