Mark bugs needing strings with status white board — [affects l10n]

• We need to drive bugs with large string changes, e.g., archive, auto config, activity manager
  • Archive patch landed.
  • Activity Manager backend landed but hidden, to be unhidden when users land and non-mac themes land.
  • AutoConfig bug 422814.
    • Moved to Thunderbird:Thunderbird 3.0b3 release

Thunderbird 3

• Thunderbird:Thunderbird3:DevRoadmap
• Blockers
  • blocking-thunderbird3+ 117
• Proposed Blocking
  • Proposed Blockers (all): 22

• we now have component drivers so that people actually own keeping subsets of the blocking list well-triaged
• bug list much more believable, thanks to last week's work
• things to file & triage:
  • component drivers: blocking+ / blocking? bugs
  • dmose: message reader bugs

• new triage rules
  • to stay on blocking+ list, a bug must be owned by someone, even if that's (temporarily) the component driver.
    • owned-by-driver bugs should have [needs owner] in status whiteboard

• to think about:
  • when do we branch? (i suspect immediately after b2)
  • when do we lock down the branch for only blocking+ and approved+ (i suspect a couple of weeks after b2)
  • There will be a TB 3 beta 3 (milestone created in bugzilla)

Roundtable

Status Updates

nth10sd
