Agenda

Pluggable Mail Stores (bug 402392):

Thunderbird Conversations released. Thanks to everyone for relaying the news. This has been on Lifehacker, Reddit, GHacks, and various other websites. Lots of retweets.
A few comments on Twitter and the blog post. Went from 92 downloads/day to 1500. Statistics were initially pretty good, except there hasn't been a significant increase in the number of users as I expected. Low retention rate, I suspect people are afraid of Trunk.
Lots of bugs reported. Still a lot of open bugs. Managed to kill a few, the fixes are in the nightly versions.
Next: Andy and Bryan have some work to do and a few things to help me on, I think we can aim for a new release maybe before Christmas with mostly bugfixes in, or maybe next year.

Active branches.
Next Alpha: Early January.
Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.
blocking criteria :
- Alpha 1 -> Serious usability issues.
- After -> not real criteria, regression/usability issues as usual.

Decision on if/when we'll do 3.2 on hold until we progress account provisioning further.

3.0.11 and 3.1.7 released.
Planning to shut down 3.0.x nightly builds after Wednesday 15th, now that 3.0.x is end-of-life.
The wiki page on the process for landing security patches has now been made generic so that it applies to all security and stability branches.
Bug Lists: 3.1
