Critical Issues
- Critical bugs keeping us from moving from 24 to 31. Please leave these here until they're confirmed fixed.
- Frequent POP3 crasher bug 902158
- V.FIXED in TB31.3.0. So bug 907096 again becomes the #1 crash
- Self-signed certs are having difficulty bug 1036338 SOLVED! REOPENED according to the bug?
- Auto-complete bugs?bug 1045753 landed! bug 1043310 Waiting for review, still
- Auto-complete improvements (bug 970456, bug 1091675, bug 118624) - some of those could go into esr31
- bug 1045958TB 31 sec-other
- Frequent POP3 crasher bug 902158
Why are we throttled? Because 1) waiting for TB 31.3, and 2) still hoping for bug 1045958 3) need auto-complete bug approved. Dec 1/2 is now release date.
Upcoming
- TB31.3.0 moved to ~ Dec 1 (but builds are done ~ a week before)

JosiahOne (not at meeting)
- Not at this meeting or probably the next one because of finals. That's also why I'm often not around. I'm pretty much just reading mail and doing reviews for the next couple weeks.
- Shared accountProvisioner.css bug 1104931
- Lightweight themes broken on Mac. bug 1105841. I will be working on that this week.
clokep (not at meeting)
- Google Talk works again due to changes on the Necko side: bug 1092701
- firefoxtree now supports comm-central bug 1100692, but not other comm trees
- Starting to look at Instantbird blockers for 1.6. (Hope to release on Mozilla 36)
rkent
Generally way behind since I was away all of last week. Fighting build bugs again.
- Blog posting done. I want to get Twitter and Facebook credentials though before I do another.
- How should we handle permissions? There are SO many of them. Have a single person who administers them, like Standard8 did?
- Disappointed that we released 31.3 without a fix for the Japan Mac bug. What can we do to improve focus on issues affecting releases?
- wsmwk will work up a proposal
- How should we organize a marketing group? We need to have discussions of things like content of the start page, and branding, in an interested group. (I would like to propose that we name releases using bird names, starting with TB 38 = "Avocet")
