Roundtable
- Test failures are taking a lot of time
- what can developers do, pre-checkin?
- run tests, locally, eventually on tryserver
- what do sheriffs need to do, post-checkin?
- log all test failures so we can correlate recurrences
- can TinderboxTLC be updated with better information?
- yes, see above
- what can developers do, pre-checkin?
- State of late-compat bugs?
- bug list with late-compat is very small and seem to be all wontfix/doc issues

- a third beta has been proposed in order to get a full feedback cycle on things like TraceMonkey, Speculative Parsing, Private Browsing UI
