• Build pipeline (mrrrgn is out, no updates)
• Test automation (mbrandt or jgriffin)
  • no news, holding pattern
• IdeaTown (nchapman/jgruen)
  • focused on getting the teaser site out to collect interest, meeting with marketing to determine the plan (light social media?)
  • new team members Dave Justice plus all the universal search folks - planning to divvy up work and move fast.
  • Are private AMO addons in the cards? Yes, that's what we're shooting for.
• Updates (tarek)
  • making progress with the balrog integration
  • some PTO slowing things down on the client side

  • tldr; when it comes to localization, its less of a data problem and more of an API problem.
