• todo coding: working on the integration of the todo app as per chowse's designs

gandalf

• whole week spent on talos performance testing
• try-talos is hardly usable due to high variation
• standalone talos takes a lot of time (1 work day ~ 10 runs)
• considering pushing patches to bugs without solid perf background. We know we're rather not slower (basic on try-talos not showing us slower), but we don't know if we're faster.
• fixed memory leak thanks to Pike's suggestion.

Pascal

• Fx4 beta5 released, page with 2 subtitled videos, 17 locales ready at release time
• Rotating Fx4 beta promos for whatsnew are pushed back to 3.6.10, will be displayed automatically when we reach that version number (currently 20 locales done)
• added json versions for main.lang files on mozilla.com for use in javascript or other sites
• Fx 3.6.9/3.5.12 stability releases

Tomcat

• Sent out Firefox 4 Beta 5 Testplan to the L10n Newsgroup
• in MV next week
