Roundtable

• Joe asked about a page to link to for developer tools
  • The MDN Tools page has a decent and up-to-date breakdown of the tools, but is not a marketing piece
  • The Firefox Technology page is a marketing view of the tools.
  • MDN's front page has a "firefox for devs" link which is not at all what you'd want something that kdangoor brought up recently with dev engage
  • cheilmann and kdangoor to meet and discuss the kind of page we want
