 == Summary ==
-One or two paragraphs outlining what we're building and why.  Should be enough so that uninvolved readers will know whether or not they want to learn more about the project.
+In order to support our new shorter release cycle, we need a mechanism by which users can switch what channel they are to get on that update path. This applies to users who are on the experimental (new), beta and final channels.
+The nightly channel is a separate path and they will continue to receive the nightly updates for mozilla-central. In order for those users to get on a different channel ie: beta, they must first download a beta build.
+Implementation includes some back end work as well as minimal front-end UI for doing the switching.
