Bon Echo Beta 1

buglist: Firefox 2 Beta 1 blockers

• can these be marked fixed, or retargetted at the next milestone if they're still relevant?
• the builds were ready to go early in the morning, the holdup was the release notes and announcements; this is good news, but we need to get better at that cycle
• also, a huge shout out to our l10n teams - this is the first time we've released a beta in all tier1 locales!

Release notes and download pages

• major thanks to reed and sgarrity for the work on the download page which we can re-use for beta2 and future alpha/beta releases.
• the pages created by bug 344128 need some JS help, see bug 344551 if you would like to lend a hand

Feedback

• early feedback was positive
• what else have you heard?

Bon Echo Beta 2

buglist: Firefox 2 Beta 2 blockers

• if you want something in beta2, nominate the bug as blocking-firefox2? or blocking1.8.1? and set the target milestone as Firefox 2 beta2 or mozilla1.8.1beta2; drivers to triage the list daily from here to beta2 release (note: no target milestone means that it's not blocking that target)

Schedule Review

• August 1: code freeze
• August 2-7: beta rcs, qa, l10n-qa, release notes
• August 8: planned ship date

Long Poles

• tracking bug is bug 328065

Tab Overflow

• design discussion & patches in bug 343251

Spell Check

• need the bug number for this one

Pref Panel

• original design landed on trunk for testing and feedback
• new design (result of after-meeting discussion last week) patch posted with all (I think) issues resolved is posted in the bug
• patches in bug 340677, currently blocked by bug 344651
• (notes on stuff to address: Clear Now and the dialog, groupbox in Clear Now, separator in Security)

New Areas of Concern

• Removal of DOMI (un-specific rumblings of replacement with FireBug)... hard to do properly.
