PRD Status Update
- Perma Links: Current PRD & Detailed Feature List & Firefox Next Requirements.
- Outstanding Change Requests to review.
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- see bug 398434
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
