sancus

• https://addons.thunderbird.net is running with test data.
• No data import yet because of US Thanksgiving, pushing wezhou to give me a snapshot today.
• Once the data import is done I'll send out a message to maildev and people can test the site.
• Hopefully minimum viable site ready by the end of the week.

wsmwk

• very concerned about getting delivery mechanism in place for beta 58 and 59 users to get updated addons, so that beta user population and user experience doesn't take a huge hit
• closed ~60 bugs
