Highlights / Notices

Notes or issues that don’t correspond to a particular release you’d like people to know about.

  • L10n (Axel)
    • Highlight: Fx 4 Beta 2 with 23 locales
    • Lowlight: shipped-locales is a PITA. Question to releng, which should I fix first, milestone creation (PITA, too, bug 565640 or add platform support to dashboard to export shipped-locales right, to fold it into l10n-changesets proper bug 535558?
    • want to join l10n testing goal meeting? Poke Pike.
  • Continued Feedback on Fx 4 beta 1: Overall, much less activity than last week, with more people commenting favorably about the speed/look of Fx 4 (not necessarily representative samples):
  • We intended to blocklist the Internet Download Manager (IDM) for Firefox 4 betas, but accidentally blocked it for Firefox 3.6.x users for 4-6 hours yesterday. That change has been reverted, but there are a few irate IDM users commenting in the bugs.

Questions and Concerns

Please add any questions or concerns you would like discussed at today’s meeting.

  • When are we switching on services/sync for Firefox? Wonder when’s the right time to expose that to l10n. (Axel)
