* wlach:
** eideticker enhancements
** mozdevice robustness (exceptions)
** gecko profiler for fennec - want to make it its own reusable module
* autophone
** trouble rebooting devices and rooting them
** su, superuser.apk and zurg rush are all fun options that don't work all the time
** wlach has a custom su here (based on the SuperUser version with the functions to communicate with the Android app taken out): https://github.com/wlach/orangutan/blob/master/su.c
*** wlach still not sure why this should be necessary: AFAICT just adding  the setuid bit to a copy of /system/bin/sh should do the trick?
** starting to pull out the device-pool stuff
* device pool & lifeguard
** ensure device pool/lifeguard is the part that reboots the device and verifies that it's okay after device is returned by user
** only on build network initially (for B2G)
*** maybe set it up as an AWS instance
** called LifeGuard only because it verifies devices in a pool-- but note that it doesn't attempt to resusicitate them if they drown :) (at most it'll run a reboot)
* mozharness
** cedar project branch for desktop
** next steps for mobile: use the lifeguard/pool.
C/I:
* watcher / sutagent updates in the works
* will update the watcher manually, probably put version in a filename
B2G:
* sutagent patch is pretty much done
* sutagent for panda is working good, one known problem
* emulator testing -> tbpl
* Action Items
** BC: document collective knowledge about su and rooting
** wlach: blog about sut/dm command-line tool
