PRD Status Update

Open Action Items

  • thunder to confirm with Baz and Kev about where localizable string with partner name will be used in UI (needed for INST-005a)
    • carry-over
    • rob_strong: if someone could at least look at the installer and give us a wish-list, we could reply with a set of sizings and estimates and work from there
    • action item: basil to do this for rob_strong
  • beltzner to liase with stopbadware.org to get malware site list hooked up
    • moved to updates on privacy/security as this will be a multi-week activity
  • beltzner to find blocking bug for removing profile information on uninstall

Schedule

  • code freeze is scheduled for Wednesday, October 17th
  • we pulled back to threat level orange on Thursday due to the number of remaining blockers
  • M9 Blockers: 81 (7 are unassigned)
    • some of those bugs can be moved out to post M9, mconnor to re-triage
    • some of those would not block an alpha, so we either need to move code freeze or declare M9 to be another alpha and shift some blockers to M10
    • at our current fix rate, we'd need 2 more weeks to contain all the bugs
    • impact of this slip would mean only 1 beta in 2007, as our dates would shift beta 2 to be too far into December
    • worried that slipping/extending will just see us "grow to fit" the deadline
    • action item: mconnor and damons to review M9 blocker lists and report back at Gecko meeting tomorrow with estimates of when we could ship a decent Beta 1.
    • (beta 1 criteria: safe for daily browsing, no glaring bugs/omissions in shipped features)

Work in progress

  • Web-based protocol handling (PH team)
    • 3 bugs targeted for M9 (dmose)
  • Microformats (mkaply)
  • Places (Places team)
    • 36 M9 blockers (+1 from last week)
    • Places UI bugs and plan
    • JSON backup for bookmarks/tags/annotations in progress (bug 384370, blocked on bug 398898)
    • Places folders in the menu and toolbar are in progress (bug 387996, screenshot, screenshot)
    • some discussion on tuning the size of our global history for perf, see bug 332748
      • maybe cap to a # of sites/visits, not based on time?
      • bottleneck is memory (6% of physical memory on the machine) not absolute size, maybe we can tune the defaults dynamically
  • Session Restore
    • discuss goals/targets for bug 398807
    • turns out that we store 50 history items per tab in session restore, perhaps we need less? looking for feedback on that bug
  • Download Manager
  • Password Manager (dolske)
  • Addons Manager (Rob Strong, Mossop, mwu)
  • Security, Privacy, Identity
    • Larry UI revealed a performance problem with onSecurityChange() method which was massively inefficient
    • result is that checkIdentity -- the thing that brings up Larry -- shouldn't cause a measurable regression on Talos tests; we know it isn't perfect, but it's now in a landable state
    • will wait for a quiet time on the tree to land it so that we can watch for any perf issues
    • should be ready for M9
  • Installer
    • waiting for ui-r? on a single P1 bug
  • User Experience
    • three bugs marked uiwanted that are blocking M9
  • Theming/Visual Makeover
    • patch has been attached, requires the unified patch to be applied as well
    • really, really want this to land for beta 1
