  • Lots of intern interviews.

Decisions needed/Action items

  • [jaws] We need to move forward with bug 755593 (Remove tabs-on-bottom mode) for Australis, as it is also now blocking bug 867317 (Bookmarks toolbar should transition when opening/closing). I'd like to put a patch up on the bug, but I've been warned from some people about angering the CC list on that bug. What to do here?
