Still working on Reading List Client. Goals for this week:

• Merge code in a branch of firefox-ios
• Have basic syncing going (without conflict resolution)
• Update Reading List UI to look in new storage

Moved iOS Nightly build server to https://ci.fxios.allizom.org – I will setup accounts there for other devs if you want to see the build results or run your own bots on it.

Because we are one man short, (congrats wes), i will start picking up a bunch of UI bugs and/or PRs.

Android (WIP):

• Voice integration bugs

Ally

<Read Only> (sick)

• 1124895 Add password manager usage data to FHR
  • super duper high priority
  • want to uplift patches to beta (37) asap
  • mobile will require its own patch for probes, will be a different bug
  • JS is throwing an illegal character on #ifdef ANDROID
    • think it points to a build system issue, the preprocessor should have removed that before the JS code runs. Either the preprocessor is not running on that file, or is somehow messed up. I have messed with the jar.mn & moz.build files with no success so far. See latest comment on bug for more details.
