Executive Summary

• 1.1a2 still getting good reviews (Googlers using it and loving it, low Talkback, Om sent pink a great note [@12:24])
  • pink: need to get more people using the branch (from 1.0.x) to see how great we're doing
  • ardissone: also for Talkback/bug shake-out purposes
• 1.1b1 set for l10n freeze/spinning on 2-15 (two weeks) and release Tues after that
  • only 6-8 l10n-impacting bugs left
  • kqueue getting closer
  • pink out-of-town 2-10 to 2-17
• Tinderboxen
  • mento thinks part of pawn's prob is a leak in a long-running process (swap eats up all disk)
  • while flying with mento, preed agreed to give us a dedicated xserve and space on a shared one
• Bugs
  • still have some nasty Core bugs we need to try and work on
  • Bug 295755 - Flashblock
    • we'll take this for 1.1
    • mento prefers landing flashblock src in cvs and using makefile to build the jar; he'll do that work if ardissone keeps on him
  • Bug 248160 - [l10n] Translate chrome strings on the fly
    • it's really too late for us to take this (given # of new strings + branch issues), but if the code has branch approval by the time 1.1 ships, we'd like it for 1.2
  • Bug 343937 - Default "unblock popup" behavior should not include adding site to Exceptions List
    • Mockups: 1, 2 3, 3 (tooltips showing)
    • We'll use Mockup 3
    • There was much discussion about how white/blacklisting should work and whether we can bend the Core code to act like we want: whitelisting www.cnn.com will allow any popups triggered by www.cnn.com, even if they are served by evilads.aol.com, and not show the bar; blacklisting would similarly disallow those and not show the bar; smorgan will investigate
