mconley
Last week:
- Australis tabs
- Re-ported curvy tab changes to Linux GTK theme (super-easy thanks to shared/)
- Found some old mstange patches that we need to make tabs-in-titlebar on OSX performant. Landed bug 676250, testing bug 676248
- Coordinated with spohl for other OSX platform changes needed for performant tabs-in-titlebar (bug 676241) - he's getting in touch with rstrong and areinald to arrange how we want to attack this
- Customization
- Jared and I are working under the jamun project branch (https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Jamun)
- Tried de-tangling panel from customization code, then abandoned that - the panel is very much a part of customization.
- Downloads panel
- Wrote a patch that fixes the alignment problems in the panel that I mentioned last week: bug 830182.
This week:
- Australis tabs
- Finish Linux curvy tabs patch and r? it
- Keep leaning on bug 738335 and dependencies
- Customization
- Start removing hard-coded strings, and moving them into .properties and .dtd files
- Other stuff from this Etherpad
Blockers:
- Need shorlander eyes on bug 830182.
- Need tab-active-middle.png from shorlander to get Linux curvy tabs to ready-to-review state
dao
no new getUserMedia blockers discovered so far, fingers crossed. focused on finishing the review of the revised patch for the mispositioned-pinned-tabs regression and reviewing the better performing australis tab shape styling.

UX Updates
shorlander

- Investigating the curvy tab image
- Click-to-Play - http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/files/click-to-play-prototype/clickToPlay-Mockup-03.html
- FHR - http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/files/firefox-health-report/firefox-health-report-01.html
lco
- FHR
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=832547
- Current Spec: http://cl.ly/2q3V1n1c0k0n
- only the header (everything from pg. 4-7 of the spec) will be in Firefox, rest will be server-side. Check with Mconnor for implementation
- No Android work yet, but maybe something to bring up on the weekly call (Wed 1:30 pm PST at MV-Zobocom)
- Strings from Matej coming: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=844170
- Click to Play
- User Research in progress. In general, people want to "always enable plugin" but don't discover how to do so, even now that we've put a gear icon on the in-content UI. Shorlander and I are talking about potentially displaying a disappearing doorhanger for all plugins.
- Working on insecure vs. regular CtP design this week
Decisions needed/Action items
[MattN] - Test out Australis work on the UX branch. See the etherpad for a list of patches there and let the patch authors know about bugs.
Decide if we want a leading 0 in the wiki page name when this meeting falls between day 1 and day 9 of the month :-)
