Topics for This Week

PSA - About Home
After triaging the remaining bugs, it looks like the new About Home redesign is at risk for Fx25. More likely happening in Fx26. Besides the bug list itself, the long pole is getting a tablet design implemented.
PSA - Dynamic Snippets
Recent discussion around Dynamic Snippets have caused a "re-think" in the way we plan to support the feature. The core idea will now be to use add-ons to customize the UI, mainly in the Home page. Adding add-on support to the Home page is already part of our plan. The backend client/server parts that were part of the original Dynamic Snippet plan are going away.
