Bon Echo Beta 1

Links to bug lists:

• blocking-firefox2+ && tm=Firefox2 Beta1
• blocking-firefox2+ && tm=Firefox2 Beta2, Firefox2
• blocking-firefox2?
• blocking-mozilla1.8.1+
• blocking-mozilla1.8.1?
  • mconnor: I think we're looking pretty good, despite the large numbers
  • myk: I'm pretty overexposed right now (see below), need some help
  • todo: mconnor and myk to re-triage and call in some help
  • brettw: I'm worried about the types of changes I'm making to spellcheck, it'll need a lot of testing
  • schrep: can we get timr to pair brettw with someone to ensure there's some good test coverage and that we're making robust testcases?
  • todo: timr and brettw to co-ordinate next week
  • ben: I managed to slash through most of the feed reading stuff; I think I should be able to fit it all in
  • schrep: anyone underloaded?
  • mconnor: I think we're evenly balanced
  • pkasting: I can take more intern-level work
  • brettw: there's a WHATWG proposal about supporting website-based control for spellcheck - should we take it?
  • dbaron: I convinced him? cool! we should take it
  • darin: when do we start clamp-down?
  • schrep: friday, as per the schedule (below)
  • darin: and what will be the level of restriction?
  • schrep: we'll be avoiding things that could cause core-regressions
  • pamg: can we get an update on Visual Refresh?
  • beltzner: the Visual Identity Team met to review the submissions from vendors (results to be posted to d-a-f soon) and to set priorities which are: 1) new icons based on existing shapes but using more modern colour palettes and styles, new icons for search and go button that look "attached" to URL bar, 2) update to tab strip gutter and active/inactive tab, 3) new close tab button to optimize for being on every tab, 4) updates to buttons in URL bar to make them look more pushable.
  • dbaron: tab strip changes seem risky to me
  • mconnor: we would be iterating towards beta 2, not just drop and test
  • brettw: we could prioritize that work ahead of the rest
  • beltzner: sure

• • is anyone triaging mozilla1.8.1 bugs?
    • darin and ? volunteered
  • mconnor's swag analysis: June 6, June 12 (PDF)

Current target dates:

• June 15th: major string changes in for l10n to start
• June 19th: tree locked to branch approval flags only, daily triage starts
• June 27th: Beta 1 Code Freeze at 11:59 PDT (some QA begins)
• July 6th : Beta 1 Ship
• the schedule is available as an ICS file or on this page

• schrep: propose that we leave the tree open over the weekend?
• bsmederg: seconded
• general agreement

• beltzner: what will our string policy be after this freeze?
• bsmedberg: we should be strict about adding new DTD or property files, but slushy about taking string changes to existing files, or adding strings to existing files
• schrep: anyone want to add new files?
  • mconnor: pref-panel changes
  • rstrong: NSIS installer
  • myk: new strings for uSummaries
• we should prioritize up anything that hits l10n, historically the longer lead time the better shot we have of hitting our deadlines (remember, there's like 36 languages!)
