* Deployment of Bugzilla 4.2 to [[BMO]] being delayed because of issues with search functionality--the magic in some of the advanced searches was removed in 4.2, which actually means that some searches are no longer possible.
** The BMO team is fixing the 4.2 search to allow all the old functionality and make it explicit rather than with some implicit magic.
** HTML mail and a limit on search results are being backported to 4.0 in the mean time.
* xpcshell tests on otoro.
* Three [[Project_Eideticker|Eideticker]] machines set up in Toronto for B2G and Fennec testing.
