dolske

mconley

  • Customization
    • Fixed some bugs that were causing widgets to not appear in the right place after session restore
    • Have a working version of the bookmarks widget, based on mak's work in bug 748894
    • Milestone 2 is due tomorrow
      • We're going to slip our goal of "getting all of the widgets finished", which was far too aggressive. Still, this was a useful pair of weeks, since we forced ourselves to answer a lot of questions about how widgets will work, and which ones we'll build.
    • Milestone 3 begins
      • The goal is to lay out a plan for how old customizations will be migrated (multiple custom toolbars, tons of add-on buttons, everything moved all over the place)
    • We're meeting with the Jetpack team to discuss the API for add-ons to register / build widgets.
  • Tabs
    • For the current milestone, we're looking at getting the lightweight theme patch de-bitrotted and performance-tested
      • MattN can give more details on this
  • Downloads panel

Blocking

  • Bookmarks widget is blocked by mak's patch in bug 748894
