** One needs review, one is release notes.
** One possible blocker related to moving content around; waiting for call from davida on that one.
** The newsgroups one will probably have the patch backed out due to lack of information and understanding.
** Last one tbd, but may not be a blocker or already fixed.
** We should be able to clear the blockers today.
* Verbiage is on the Tinderboxen forbidding checkins to mail/ and mailnews/ of non-3.0a1-blocking bugs without explicit approvals.  Those directories will remain closed until we've cleared the blocker list (either by fixing or cutting remaining bugs), spun builds, and tagged the release.

** dmose posted update on current status and expectations to newsgroups
* We're building a [[Releases/Thunderbird_3.0a1|release checklist]] as we go, so that this stuff is written down somewhere, possibly either updating or starting from http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Release_Checklist. http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/Beta2ReleaseChecklist looks like useful source material as well.

** '''nth10sd''' to add QA activities to release check list
** '''Rick''' to add build activities to release check list
* Once dev is happy with code-base, could use date or tag to "mark" the build.
** Must keep a clear record written down somewhere.
** Best to use date or a tag and check-in to trunk and tag any remaining required fixes.
* Not planning on doing automatic updates between alphas
** Mainly due to QA load.
** Could use start-page to notify users of new version instead.
** '''Rick''' to check that the correct channel is set so that we won't provide updates to alpha people, but we can later provide updates between betas.
* Release Builds
** Expect problems, we'll be using buildbot and Firefox didn't do its alphas with the buildbot automation.
** '''Rick''' to talk to MoCo build engineers to find out when the builds are likely
