- Funnelcake 4 targeted for Wednesday midnight 1/5 through Thursday midnight 1/6.
- ISPDB reached a 55% success rate partly due to lower volume during the holidays, steady conversion around 45%.
- 40-47% conversation rate steady
- Lower volume over the holidays and increased conversation rate, unsure why

Feature Work

Experiments
Thunderbird Conversations
- Shooting for another release Thunderbird Conversations. Took some time off for the holidays, so the release has been delayed somehow, will issue a new release shortly. This will be a 100% bugfix release, with no new features.
- Bugs still piling up, need some help from clarkbw and andychung! :-)
- Setup the thunderbird-stdlib repo, started the new "SimpleStorage" asynchronous API that will help Thunderbird Conversations and other extensions. Will blog about it as soon as it reaches a usable state.
Trunk (Miramar) Development
- Omnijar landed
- Active branches.
- Next Alpha: Early January, about:support and a few other updates.
- Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.
- blocking criteria :
- Alpha 1 -> Serious usability issues.
- After -> not real criteria, regression/usability issues as usual.
