- clouserw is afk
- Welcome to basta; someone introduce him. :)
- 5.10.4 went out yesterday. Much <3 to all who participated. It was smooth and fixed some critical issues:
- Log in problems
- Inability to download sandboxed add-ons
- 5.11 is code freezing in less than a week and there are lots of open bugs! Please remember priorities while working on bugs.
- The goals of 5.11 are many, but high level is still to get all the bugs assigned to mozwebqa closed and those pages live on zamboni.

May 12, 2010
Development
- 5.10.1, .2 launched
- Ideas for bugzilla component changes (I think if you want to add one, you have to take one away):
- Rename "Developer Pages" to "Developer Tools"
- I prefer Developer Pages, as it encompasses Developer Hub and Developer Tools Fligtar 17:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Add "Add-ons"
- Merge "Add-on Security"
- Merge "Search Plugins"
- Merge "Dictionaries"
- We had Add-ons before and it turned into a catch-all because it was the default selected and every bug in AMO has to do with "add-ons". Fligtar 17:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Add "Personas"
- Personas are just an add-on type, and earlier in this list it is proposed to get rid of components for other add-on types. I think Personas bugs should just go where they would normally go: details pages, browse pages, etc. Fligtar 17:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Personas are often treated much different than other add-ons. This is why they suck...and deserve a separate component.--Jbalogh 20:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Combine "Administration" and "Policy"
- Get rid of "Facebook"
- Can we move "Plugins" out of AMO?
- There is Websites/plugins.mozilla.org now, so we could move them there. Talk to ozten about it. --wenzel
- Rename "Developer Pages" to "Developer Tools"
- On commit messages
