Video

• WebRTC initial tranche will be landing after the next uplift (hopefully as soon as the tree opens). Landing plan on dev-media and dev-planning. Please help with looking at review requests where it doesn't hurt work towards basecamp and uplift!

DOM

WebAPI

Network

Identity

Work continues in Pine twig. Looking unlikely that UI bits will make this cycle, but perhaps better odds for the core bits (DOM / crypto) that will be shared with B2G/Fennec.

Plugins

Mobile

• Flash support for Honeycomb
• Looking at crashes
• Working on release plan and schedule

Accessibility

• We are getting reports (e.g. bug 759236) from devs that our a11y engine is instantiated in FF mac trunk/nightly (since we turned on a11y support for the first time in trunk this round). It seems there are lots of tools that may require the user to turn on mac a11y support at the system level. We are monitoring the situation and will turn off a11y support for aurora/beta/release channels until we are blazing fast.

Tree Management

• OSX builds are now being signed
  • nightly builds on all branches
  • 13.0b6 is signed as well. All future betas and releases for 13+ will be signed.

• Win8 builds being done on elm branch

• If you have a disposable branch booked and aren't using it - please release it and let somebody else use it!

Security

• How we prioritize our work
  • Incident
  • Mozilla Initiative
  • Corporate Quarterly Goal
  • Team Quarterly Goal
  • Non-Specific Project

A formal wiki on we score items and the tags we will use on bugs is coming

Reviews coming up this week:

 Wednesday 1pm PDT -- Settings API
 Wednesday 2pm PDE -- Web Intents/Activities
