Round table

  • Don't forget to add changes that may impact documentation to the Firefox 3 for developers page.
  • reminder to use #granparadiso on IRC for discussion of milestone-releated deliverables, features, QA testing, etc; it's to be the defacto location for chatter regarding Gran Paradiso releases
  • when is the best time to land the next sqlite upgrade? (still a little bit of work to do before that becomes trivial)
    • tracked by bug 385067, will land post-M7 but need to block on it for M8
    • needed for Places and a variety of other measures
  • NSS codesize increase (9% of entire binary)
    • this is a gecko issue
    • bz filed bug 389343 to track it, some codesize increase seems gratuitous
    • if it can't be reduced, we'll need to take a hard look at the value of taking it vs. the cost to not taking it
  • 6 weeks from b1, how do we feel?
    • content-handling: a bunch of stuff was pushed to M8, not a clear sense
    • ux: a little worried about non-P1 design items, add-ons UX, and theme work
    • firebug: sdwilsh not sure if he has cycles anymore
    • places-sync: uninvestigated area
    • download-resume: not sure if the SoC student will be able to complete this work
