Intro
You're invited to participate in a release retrospective for the Firefox Start Page. Let's discuss the nitty gritty in a constructive way (no finger pointing!) and help make future projects run more smoothly. To get a comprehensive review of all aspects of the project lifecycle, topics are broken down by phase and/or stakeholder. For each item below we will discuss “what went well” and “what can be improved” as well as the specific questions pertaining to each item.
