Dashboard site is live and fast now (thanks to wlach); what do all the numbers mean?
related to above, where are we w.r.t our 2-hour goal? Which open items are going to produce the greatest improvements?
Review the Action Items & Bugs

will to follow up with catlee regarding dashboard calculations
jgriffin to change test run comparison routine to compare against a range of recent m-c runs instead of one run to help mitigate the fact that test durations vary considerably per run, even when equivalent
jgriffin to get data on infrequently failing tests, and how long they take to run
ted to file bug about harnesses downloading symbols on demand
Any p2 bugs need to escalate?

we've put investigation of running debug tests with opt xpcshell on hold, since opt debug builds seem likely to materialize sometime soon (bug 669953)
still need a mechanism to track individual slow tests; jmaher suggested the correct metric to do this is test duration/test asserts; need to update the logparser to handle this

 == Action items from last time ==
-* jgriffin to find a way to compare build turnaround time stuff.  Make something like "compare talos" where you feed it a changeset ID from try and it compares your build/test times with current data from m-c.
+* will to follow up with catlee regarding dashboard calculations
-* wlach to file bugs on other xpcshell test slowness he found
+* jgriffin to change test run comparison routine to compare against a range of recent m-c runs instead of one run to help mitigate the fact that test durations vary considerably per run, even when equivalent
-* wlach to ask places devs if we need all places tests to hit disk
+* jgriffin to get data on infrequently failing tests, and how long they take to run
-* wlach to start digging into browser-chrome slow tests
+* ted to file bug about harnesses downloading symbols on demand
