Topics for This Week

Super Toast

Wes has been working on a form of toast that allows an action, when tapped. It's similar to the "[Deleted message | undo]" in GMail. This is part of the work in bug 872388, but has other applications too. We should see this in a Nightly soon.

Reviewer Checklist

More feedback was collected. Thanks for the input. Kats has wiki-fied the checklist.
