Round Table
- [mcomella via cpeterson on yammer] Americans’ attitude on privacy: http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/05/20/americans-attitudes-about-privacy-security-and-surveillance/
- Disclaimer: It’s long and I did not read it
- [mcomella] Can I get some help compiling a list of our dashboards & tests to put on wiki.mozilla.org? I’d like to know what automated metrics we test & check for on mobile. For example, eideticker, areweslimyet, etc.
- I feel I’m losing track of what areas we focus on and try to prevent regressions. e.g. in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217415 the user mentioned we’re slower than chrome to show content, making it feel like we’re slower in general, but then I found out we don’t run eideticker anymore and only seem to test first-run perf on autophone. Seems lacking – am I missing something?
