Firefox 3

• I posted to dev.apps.firefox about gathering user problems, but it might get ratholey :(
• I also proposed a new format for describing themes for data collection which sherman is moving over to a wiki
  • we need to start moving on these data collection activities *now* in order to help us generate and prioritize requirements for Firefox 3 and beyond
• I'm trying to come up with ways of driving out requirements (both front end and gecko) which are based on actual user needs and problems; will have something shortly to share.
