Last week:

• Customization
  • We hit our Australis Customization milestone 1 last week, and landed those changes on UX. Things are still a bit fugly. We're working on it.
  • Talked with shorlander and fang about what widgets we are going to ship by default, what we plan on cutting, etc. See bug 855290.
  • Started hacking on the Bookmarks widget - see bug 855805.
• Curvy Tabs
  • Set up milestones for Australis Curvy Tabs to measure our progress
  • Got r+ on bug 8013802 which puts the menu in the titlebar on Windows. Thanks MattN for the thorough reviews.

This week:

• Downloads panel
  • Publishing this blog post about the new downloads panel. Should be up by the time this meeting starts, unless WordPress is being lame. Thanks to Marco, Paolo and Mano who wrote it with me.
• Customization
  • Milestone 2 is next Wednesday. We're hoping to have our widgets figured out by then, but having the actual widgets completed might be a bit optimistic (especially with jaws on vacation). Might have to re-evaluate milestones.
  • Hoping to land a fix that stops the widgets in the nav-bar from re-ordering themselves on session restart (bug 855295).
  • Other items
• Curvy tabs
  • Milestone 1 is tomorrow - we're looking OK to have most of the goals accomplished here (1 or 2 might slip)

Blocked on:

• Waiting for feedback from Unfocused on bug 855295.
• Need firm spec on Bookmarks widget from fang / shorlander (bug 855805).
