rnewman

• Next seven days:
  • Keeping other people unblocked and moving in the right directions.
  • Version code computation, perhaps.
  • Chasing down build 24 crashes.

• Reviews:
  • Send tab (Emily).
  • Version code computation (Nick).
  • Syncing password timestamps on desktop.
  • Piles of small iOS stuff.

• Landed:
  • New icons for sent tabs on Android. Sorry for the wait, antlam!

• Partners:
  • Multilocale builds (Margaret).
  • Distro questions (Karen).

• Misc:
  • Back from 'vacation'.
  • Designing iOS bookmark sync. Converging on an approach that's relatively simple, considering the domain complexity.
  • Continuing discussions with Nick around Android version code scheme. We're keen to get it right.
  • Apple ID wrestling. I can now see crashes.
  • A little A/B testing, quality, etc. noodling.
  • Chatting with mconnor about exposing installer size as a metric that we'll track and eventually consider as important as a Ts regression.
  • Booking travel for Swift Summit.
  • Lots of meetings, triage, etc.
