New Format

For the month of November, we're trying a new format. Each week we will have an MC who will do a quick (no more than 5 minute) update on where our various projects are. Then we'll have an open forum to announce specific project meetings and/or any announcements, questions, topics, or frustrations people want to elevate.

The Overview

• Marionette executeScript functionality has landed
  • met with dev-tools team to get the remote debugging support we need landed
• Marionette test server (using mock object for marionette) is completed

• Jeff and Clint met with the W3C and other browser vendors to talk about automated testing on the web and automated testing of w3c specifications.
