Firefox 3.6a1 Notes from today's meeting on branch and alpha schedule:

• Our current plan is to branch for 1.9.2 on July 31st. There are several items that must land and become stable before we branch (All discussed below).
  • There are several bugs related to ireflow that bz must fix.
  • Phase I of Compositor is to land after dbaron finishes review.
  • All bugs that block the branch must be marked blocking-1.9.2+ and have P1 priority status. Please mark immediately.
• We will try to do an alpha before we branch on July 31st. Since time is short, we will make the call whether or not an alpha is even possible before we branch, on Friday, July 24th. Even then, things are tight, and it's quite possible that we won't have time for an alpha.
