	* ''~~what else have you heard?''~~		* pkasting: there was a lot of confusion about beta1 vs beta1rc1, beta1rc2, beta1rc3
			** schrep: we've had this problem before, people find it on the FTP site, etc.
			** schrep: we'll try to make it more clear next time
			** beltzner: making a clear announcement on dev-news worked for the alphas
			** pkasting: keeping it in the nightly directories might help, too

	* Removal of DOMI ~~(un-specific rumblings~~ of ~~replacement~~ with ~~FireBug)..~~. hard to ~~do properly.~~		'''Removal of DOMI'''
	* ''~~any new~~ bugs ~~/ showstoppers / emerging long poles~~''		* bsmedberg: this is hard to do properly?
			* schrep: why were we removing this?
			* bsmedberg: to be able to let it get developed out of band of Firefox
			* mconnor: I want to be able to do better with developer tools, and the best way to do that is to get it out of the app and get someone who can own it and bring it forward separately and make it available as an extension
			* dbaron: DOMI isn't only a platform thing, it's a web developer thing, and I hestitate to make it dependent on understanding how to find and download an extension
			* bsmedberg: my concern is that it seems foolish to take it out on the expectation that it will make it easier to improve DOMI unless we have some commitment to actually improve and develop it.
			* mconnor: rstrong, how hard would it be to fix the optional components install page?
			* rstrong: we'd end up with a page like our current installer instead of the prettier tree view that we have now
			* myk: seems late in the cycle for this large a change
			* schrep: let's still ship it as app-managed, yet still aggressively
			* (general agreement)


			'''Software Update'''
			* sspitzer: this is at risk for beta2, but I'm looking at a way to at least get the strings in there and reviewed so that we can get them localized and shipped with Fx2, and then we can actually ship the code that uses them in a dot-dot release
			** schrep: let's see if darin can help

			'''Installer & EM'''
			* rstrong: locale related bugs coming in, and I'd been assuming that we wouldn't be shipping DOMI
			* rstrong: there are also some Vista-related requirements that we need to evaluate; don't know if those will prevent us from working, or just prevent us from integrating perfectly.

* can these be marked fixed, or retargetted at the next milestone if they're still relevant?
* the builds were ready to go early in the morning, the holdup was the release notes and announcements; this is good news, but we need to get better at that cycle
* also, a huge shout out to our l10n teams - this is the first time we've released a beta in all tier1 locales!

'''Release notes and download pages'''
* major thanks to reed and sgarrity for the work on the [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-beta.html download page] which we can re-use for beta2 and future alpha/beta releases.
* the pages created by {{bug|344128}} need some JS help, see {{bug|344551}} if you would like to lend a hand

'''Feedback'''
* early feedback was positive
