Round Table

SUMO

Google Play Ratings

  • 5 Star: 95,013
  • 4 Star: 27,837
  • 3 Star: 15,584
  • 2 Star: 9,757
  • 1 Star: 15,760

Total Rating: 4.08

Issues / Update

Google Play rating is moving up, we have a good chance of hitting visible 4.2 stars by the end of the year. In fact, this week we passed Chrome for Mobile in our average star rating, 4.08 to 4.07, the first time I know of this happened

In terms of Feedback, our input server is down right now so there isn’t a detailed feedback summary yet, but manually rading our input fails to give any new issues. Hopefully the server will be back up and running today as Tyler is PTO Thursday and Friday.

Meeting Notes

User-Experience (Design & Research)

  • [project SPF (security/privacy)] (larissa)
    • Brownbag on Thursday, Dec. 13 at 12pm PST in Ten Fwd
      • Topic: Designing Meaningful Security and Privacy (in a world where nobody cares?)
      • Description: Security and privacy on the Web are core to Mozilla’s values, but they are often presented to the user in the form of annoying dialogs and confusing, overly technical options. Are security and privacy doomed to be enemies of usability? And more importantly, do they even matter to our users? In this talk, I’ll attempt to get to the heart of what our users care about and how Mozilla can keep them safe while enabling them to do the things they want to do online
    • Blog post about Mozcamp Asia — Stay tuned for a second one about insights from the workshop!

Stability Report [Weekly]

  • Trunk crashes seeking assignees/investigation:
    • The signature of bug 696640 (nsFrameList::RemoveFrame) spiked in the last days, this now has a testcase and regression range.
    • The signature of bug 817342 (js::GCMarker::processMarkStackTop) is #2, reproducible and has a regression range.

  • bug 815684 is adding some logcat info to crash reports for JB, we hope that will help us diagnose some high-volume crashes.
  • bug 775142 is fixed, needs to be pushed to aurora.

B2G

  • Current top-priority bugs are moving forward:
    • bug 811335 seems to be moving forward with the help of Julian Seward and Ted.
    • bug 814078 is still waiting for review, bsmedberg said he’ll probably be able to steal the review for the CrashSubmit.jsm part, will need someone else to review the B2G part.
