- Currently setting up our priorized project documentations: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Automation#Projects
- Projects
- Mozmill

- Working with RelEng on Pulse update notifications (see bug 735184)
- TPS
- All tests are passing locally - not sure why on our CI some tests are failing. Actually the machine seems to be very fragile and broken for a couple of services like VNC. So it may be related. We might want to get the new system setup as soon as possible. Where should this be?
- Mozmill
