Add notes about work being actively done at the moment, areas where you'll need help/review, or things which the rest of the team should be made aware of. Leaving the section blank or linking to current discussion threads in dev.apps.firefox is perfectly acceptable.
Visual Refresh: Chrome Polish
- no news from last week
Visual Refresh: Theme Polish
- Radiant Core will be delivering 4 theme design mockups at the end of next week; also talking to RaizLabs.
Bookmarks and History: Places
- ben to add any new update
- Performance (brettw): Places Tp < 2% regressed on gaius. Startup time is probably faster than noplaces with reasonably-sized histories. Autocomplete is definitely faster than noplaces with reasonably-sized histories. Shutdown time is good.

User Experience: Session Restore
- Waiting for feedback on latest patch
- Testing performance
- Working on hooking up undo close-tab
- Implemented toSource/eval storage
User Experience: Spell Check
- Branch patch completed but rejected due to potential security problem. Need to refactor a couple things to expose less on the XULDOMDocument. Need to fix on trunk as well.
User Experience: Microsummaries
- attached initial patch to bug 334471 (alias: microsummaries)
- the patch supports microsummaries specified by pages, the application, and third-party microsummary definition files;
- per discussion in mda.firefox, switched from the extension model to the search engine model for installation of third-party definitions;
- RSS/Atom feed microsummaries are not supported yet, but the architecture is now mostly there to support them, and I'm working on this next;
- looking for all kinds of review (design, code, UI, etc.) and would like to figure out who the appropriate authoritative reviewers will be.
Feeds: Parser
- SAX landed on trunk bug 325080. There are a couple follow-on bugs listed there. The most critical one adds asynchronous capabilities. bug 334304. It has sr already. Landing on branch will require some string munging in ReportError and a strategy for setting channel status in ParseFromStream. -sayrer
- Toolkit FeedProcessor.js is @ 75%. I have time to push on it this week. -sayrer

Infrastructure: Performance

Infrastructure: Instrumentation
The current proposal is to implement instrumentation as an extension. The advantages to this approach include the ability to update the extension independent of a release, in addition to greater flexibility in promoting the extension through vehicles such as addons.mozilla.org.
We'll continue to develop the code in the Mozilla CVS repository while evaluating options to host the data within the mozilla.com domain. Target release date for an Instrumentation Extension is TBD.
