Andrew back from vacations, need to update my gloda patches. Lot of telemetry work happening:
- I patched the about:telemetry extension to make it work with Thunderbird,
- sent an email to the metrics team, they confirmed we would be able to aggregate the data by date,
- I plan on pushing a patch to toolkit so that we have our own gloda sections in the telemetry reports,
- I have an email ready to go asking our testing community to enable telemetry reporting (as soon as about:telemetry is approved).
Once all of that is done, I plan on letting the stats accumulate for a couple weeks, then land the gloda patches, and compare the results.

Thunderbird Conversations

Andrew back from vacations, need to update my gloda patches. Lot of telemetry work happening: - I patched the about:telemetry extension to make it work with Thunderbird, - sent an email to the metrics team, they confirmed we would be able to aggregate the data by date, - I plan on pushing a patch to toolkit so that we have our own gloda sections in the telemetry reports, - I have an email ready to go asking our testing community to enable telemetry reporting (as soon as about:telemetry is approved). Once all of that is done, I plan on letting the stats accumulate for a couple weeks, then land the gloda patches, and compare the results.

Auto-resizing iframe review pending, probably won't get r+ until a few cycles.

Started writing mozmill tests for Thunderbird Conversations.
