adw

dolske

  • I blogged on IRC notifications.
  • Misc reviews. Still a mostly-empty queue!

mconley

Last week:

  • Australis tabs
    • Re-ported curvy tab changes to Linux GTK theme (super-easy thanks to shared/)
    • Found some old mstange patches that we need to make tabs-in-titlebar on OSX performant. Landed bug 676250, testing bug 676248
    • Coordinated with spohl for other OSX platform changes needed for performant tabs-in-titlebar (bug 676241) - he's getting in touch with rstrong and areinald to arrange how we want to attack this
  • Customization
    • Jared and I are working under the jamun project branch (https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Jamun)
    • Tried de-tangling panel from customization code, then abandoned that - the panel is very much a part of customization.
  • Downloads panel
    • Wrote a patch that fixes the alignment problems in the panel that I mentioned last week: bug 830182.

This week:

  • Australis tabs
    • Finish Linux curvy tabs patch and r? it
    • Keep leaning on bug 738335 and dependencies
  • Customization
    • Start removing hard-coded strings, and moving them into .properties and .dtd files
    • Other stuff from this Etherpad

Blockers:

  • Need shorlander eyes on bug 830182.
  • Need tab-active-middle.png from shorlander to get Linux curvy tabs to ready-to-review state

dao

no new getUserMedia blockers discovered so far, fingers crossed. focused on finishing the review of the revised patch for the mispositioned-pinned-tabs regression and reviewing the better performing australis tab shape styling.

UX Updates

shorlander

lco

  • FHR
  • Click to Play
    • User Research in progress. In general, people want to "always enable plugin" but don't discover how to do so, even now that we've put a gear icon on the in-content UI. Shorlander and I are talking about potentially displaying a disappearing doorhanger for all plugins.
    • Working on insecure vs. regular CtP design this week

Decisions needed/Action items

[MattN] - Test out Australis work on the UX branch. See the etherpad for a list of patches there and let the patch authors know about bugs.

Decide if we want a leading 0 in the wiki page name when this meeting falls between day 1 and day 9 of the month :-)
