Major Topics for This Week

Release Roadmap

Fx 11 XUL is going to Beta channel. Fx 10 XUL ESR is going to the Release channel.

Uplift Situation

We are focusing on mozilla-central and less on constant uplift. Feel free to request "aurora" and "beta" approval for important bugs. We'll be doing a mass uplift closer to merge of other things (not critical) that we want on Aurora and Beta.

Crashes

The crash statistics are improving, but we still need to keep a focus on cleaning them up.
