  • dynamic containers work is ready to land, just waiting for SR on API changes. Will probably need further love in future when we start using them, but they should just work OOTB.
  • Need to publish proposal on m.d.a.f. for livemarks conversion sprint once dynamic containers land.
  • Worked out some orange and crashiness in tests
  • still a couple of Tsnappiness patches to unbitrot
  • Updating Places:Plan page with small projects we can easily convert to sprints, with infos, relations, ecc. I'll then pass through them with Dietrich to prioritize them.

• adw

Roundtable

• Places Branch
  • http://tests.themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/?tree=Places

• https://wiki.mozilla.org/Places:Plan needs to be updated and get better to show our roadmap.

• A Places (or non-Places-specific that we use for Places...) dashboard that shows live changes, bugzilla queries, graphs would be nice to have
