Bon Echo Alpha 2

• yay, it shipped (eventually), and people seem to like it! but, there are some things we should try to learn from this milestone release process
  • last minute landings made the release management difficult
  • the trunk being closed didn't help, either
  • need to plan out larger landings in advance, not everyone can work to the same deadline
  • need to do Ts/Tp smoketests on your own machine before landing -- use a watch!

Bon Echo Alpha 3

• major pieces: DOMStorage, JS Fast Load, SafeBrowsing,
• other pieces: UndoCloseTab (?), TabOverflow (?), add your proposals here!
• blocking bugs: blockers & nominations for alpha 3
• proposed schedule
  • Thursday, May 18th: close tree & land DOM Storage
  • Monday, May 22nd: close tree & land SafeBrowsing
  • Tuesday, May 23rd: close tree & lockdown for Alpha 3 (11:59pm PDT)

Developer Roundtable

Please add any status updates from the past week, including links to relevant bugs, newsgroup discussions, etc:

Visual Refresh: Chrome Polish

• walking through some end-to-end scenarios to find polish bugs for B1/B2
• should have these filed early next week (will use [meta] keyword)

Visual Refresh: Theme Polish

• final comps coming in from vendors next Monday; will prepare something for y'all to look at for next meeting!

Search: Plugin Format

• bug 327932 is at risk, and needs to be triaged
  • shaver: we have used this update system once before to save our asses, and likely will again!
  • mconnor was pretty sure we discussed this priority before, but even so, this needs to be revisited

Developer Documentation

• JavaScript 1.7 doc is about 90% done, pending final details on a couple of topics and a review by Bendan and Graydon.
• Firefox 2 for Developers - I'm still trying to gather information, will accelerate this week.

Other Business

• beltzner: list of functional regressions (even if they could be thought of as bugfixes!) is probably needed
