      • Found out that somebody landed a really excellent Sqlite.jsm module that allows me to read / write to sqlite databases with promises. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=813833). I've torn out my SQLite adapter, and starting using this instead. Still repairing after this.
    • Not much activity over the holidays beyond this. I was hoping to have something flashy and visual to show you by now, but no dice. Activity will be picking up now that the holidays are over.

    • Nothing to add.  ;)
    • (Okay, I'm really going to try to get to some of the backed up ui-review requests, but nothing other than that.)
    • Are you just doing UI-reviews : I'm far enough on reviews that yes it's what I going to work on. No coding for lack of time - when the review queue will be empty I'll go back to coding. (I'm also happy to work on stuff that isn't reviews, if people think it's higher-value!)
