Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

DOM (jst/overholt)

Big shout out to the team who worked on this, including peterv, bz, khuey, bholley, mccr8, and efaust. Also a big shout out to the numerous people who helped convert code from using XPConnect to WebIDL, including dz, Ms2ger, ehsan, baku, bjacob, tbsaunde, and many many more (too many to name here).

irc #planning Log From This Meeting

dveditz: blassey: why "janus"?
blassey: roman god of time, space and safe passage
blassey: why the change? apparently Speedy Gonzales is not considered to be culturally sensitive
...
Mossop: Some webapps use [HTTP requests waiting longer than 5 minutes] as a push notification. Make an XHR request to your server, when it wants to tell the client something it responds
