Legend

Using the airplane metaphors that the Firefox team started with. Let me know if you have a better suggestion.

• (BLANK) - Not started
• WAITING FOR TAKEOFF - Project blocked by an external dependency
• TAKING OFF - Beginning design process, early work
• IN FLIGHT - In active development
• TOUCH AND GO - Find/fix mode. In early testing. (This refers to practice landings that pilots do)
• LANDED - Done

Template

We might change this in the future, but to get started we can use the Firefox Project Template if it helps create pages for these projects.
