  • Search (bug 474701) will be landing over the next week or two and then we’ll finish up the beta.
    • try server build while the patch is being reviewed
    • once it lands dates for b3 and b4.
  • Beta 3 stated as the release for all work with serious downstream work impact (ui, backend, l10n, etc). Anything that isn’t like that should be pushed out into Beta 4.
  • Blocking bugs are now allowed to be owned by nobody@mozilla.org.
    • Changing this policy helps make the list better reflect reality w.r.t. which bugs are actually getting attention and which ones aren’t.

Folder pane refactoring – good progress obver last few weeks – a try server build to be posted today.
(bug + mdat) – people should give it a try and provide feedback as too regression – please refer to the
meta bug – The patch could land if nothing major show up.

Search patch – needs user experience work. A few days work before that. Reasonable shape for beta3.

dates to be decided later
