- A good Bug triage bug day was held last Tuesday. Along with a good Mountain View Mozilla crash reporting and analysis Meet-up on Wednseday.
- There is an upcoming Mozilla and Openoffice Meetup in Munich on Friday, July 24th!
- Accessiblity:
- Some key bugs worked on, reviewed, etc. Also provided some review of patches for Thunderbird and Seamonkey.
- Wrote a blog post on the Firebug 1.4 release. It highlights the UI accessibility features and what implications this has for blind web devs or those who think of becoming one.
- Metrics
- Working with Simon on and talked to Blezner about short term metrics to put in place. We should have some new public metrics regarding bugs marked blocking within about a week.
- Completed a first round of JSCoverage tool modifications and coverage collection. So we have a good set of code coverage for both C/C++ and JS. Worked with catlee and joduinn to make mochitest code coverage collection more reliable.
