Security

Electrolysis

Necko:

  • Close to having necko IPC protocol hooked up and initialized
  • Some high-level design progress (from conversation with BZ)
    • IPC probably "main chrome thread <-> content process", not "Socket transport thread <-> content process"
    • Probably use "if(ContentProcess)" within existing necko code, rather than create new set of classes for Content-side necko.
  • Issue: which protocols (network; file?) need IPC?
  • Issue: goodbye standalone necko?
  • Set up design discussion for workweek

Tree Management

Roundtable

  • Project metrics charts (timr)
  • Who is allowed to mark approval1.9.2+ ? (dbaron)
  • should we mark the set of bugs that are fixed on mozilla-1.9.2 by virtue of branching as fixed1.9.2+ (beltzner)
