Welcome!

sancus

• addons-server is running in its container and connected to all real services, woo
  • Next up is to set up the proxy and addons.thunderbird.net should be running in a test state
  • work with Mozilla ops to do a full database and addon file import and then it should be mostly working by Friday.
  • there will be quite a few bits that don't work, like the signing server, but hopefully nothing we desperately need.

wsmwk

• watching 57.0b1 results - update rate at 50 as of Monday 11/13, no major new crashes https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrashers/?product=Thunderbird&version=57.0b1
