- Boriss needs your input on animating the Firefox UI
- Curtis has an update on nicer 404 error pages
- Felipe excites and amazes with a demonstration of multitouch UI in webpages
- Blair is working on a bunch of things, such as alerting users about outdated plugins, getting Taskfox review-ready, and looking at JetPack integration
- Dave is thinking about how to let users know when other software has installed Add-ons in their Firefox, which is important
- Dao has some information to share about work towards integrating Personas into Firefox
- next milestone: Firefox 3.6 Beta 1
- still working through triage, waiting on some l10n estimates in order to get a timeline fleshed out, looking at mid-to-late September for a beta
