Next Steps

• Rob Strong to work on updater pieces, will give an update next week
• Limi to work with UI to do design & mockups
• Sayer to keep pushing on updating the release schedule
• Will get together next week to discuss

Notes

• Rename "dev" to "experimental."
• Firefox name for experimental, beta and final, but minefield for nightlies.
• Concerns about bundle names in the short term.
• Will probably be part of the About dialog.
• Opportunity to roll out server features to betas and devs as well.

Concerns

• Profiles are a major concern - downgrading is scary.
• Add-ons are a concern.
  • Might have to disable binary add-ons, a huge concern.
  • Discussion of whether or not they check.
• Discussion of automatic updates, notification and disabling updates.
  • Should be possible to turn it off, but not to ignore anupdate when it shows up.
  • Should have a way to show off new features after update.
• Update process.
  • Should do it on shutdown or with a service.
  • Windows is highest priority, Mac is lower.
  • Will still have an update notification.
  • Talk about security as little as possible, makes people nervous.
