December 19th

  • We need to come to a decision on policy for adding new search engines. Will we allow anyone to do this and if not, where do we draw the line?
  • In a similar vein, the search engine page isn't localizable right now (bug 375052). I'd like to talk about making the search engine page more like our new localizable recommended list, meaning that localizers could choose what is on the page. bug 359740 talks about this, but if we want it we should file a new one)
  • Similarly, we want to allow search engines to have categories - bug 408525
  • API Docs [[1]] - feedback required. Do we want to give sample responses and/or a DTD for responses?

December 12th

  • Where's link to Developer Control Panel in new mocks?
    • madhava and fligtar discussed having a new box on the right above We Recommend with links for logged-in users.
    • Current links would be My Account, Developer Tools, Editors, Localizer, and Admin links.
    • Possibility for future links like My Favorites or My Reviews.
    • When logged in, register | log in should change to nobody@mozilla.org | log out
    • quick mockup
  • Our new design leaves some questions with L10n
  • Yesterday and Monday morgamic merged trunk with 3.2 branch this week (was a pain to merge), did global css, images, header and footer -- should be localized except for phrase at the top -- working on implementing main view elements next (search, sidebar, category picker)
  • Reskin is being updated as changes are committed (need to set Craig up with an account) https://remora-reskin.stage.mozilla.com/
  • Stats
    • developer dashboard - no progress since last week; waiting for logs to be restored. After that, I will be able to more fully test the code and make sure it's working as intended before requesting review, staging a public preview, and then launching.
    • other dashboard - working with oremj. Plan is to eventually have only IT parsing the logs and populating their database, from which we will populate ours. This will not happen until possibly Q1, so developer stats should continue to launch as planned.
