Documentation

• Lots of movement on Firefox 4 documentation the past week.
• Please be sure to add the dev-doc-needed keyword to any bugs that may impact documentation, even if they're not fixed yet!

Metrics

• The metrics team is currently collecting logs for our production Hadoop and Hbase cluster inside HIVE. More info at http://bit.ly/hive_flume
• Mozilla properties can now import their logs in near real-time inside HIVE and query using HQL (SQL'ish language)
• HIVE can be used for querying the log data thereby improving our ability to make decisions based on data.
• It's a work in progress, data won't be lost but might not work as intended on first attempt.
• Contact us if you would like to import your data.

Developer Tools

• A number of refinements to the Web Console landed on trunk in time for Firefox 4 beta 4.
• Good progress has been made on many aspects of the new Inspector tool. Expect to see a much nicer Inspector in beta 5.

Introducing New Hires

• Lloyd Hilaiel (Staff Engineer - Mozilla Labs)
• Margaret Leibovic (Firefox)
