Agenda / Decisions

• state of buglist today
  • blocking+ list: 116
  • blocking? list: 18
  • not yet found/created/reported: ?

• front-loaded: of 118 blockers
  • 71 in 3.0b3
  • 30 in 3.0rc1
  • 17 untargetted
• pro: leaves room at the end for the stuff we haven't found yet (assuming realism, which is hard to tell)

• shipping soon: very high value
  • gets existing fixes into users' hands
  • energizes us as a team

• how do we map this to two milestones?
  • hard to predict how much work this is
  • ask everyone to get v3 bugs from NEW->ASSIGNED this week (dmose)
  • ask people to look at their own load regularly and say something AS SOON AS they think they need help
  • assume we're gonna try really really hard to get this amount of work into two 10-week milestones by throwing stuff overboard as necessary

• triaging going forward
  • blocking?: what i've been doing: bias towards minusing and asking to renominate, unless we _can't_ ship without spending time drilling in more deeply (eg serious dataloss)
  • please try to triage your bug lists (blocking+ and blocking?) once a week before drivers meeting
  • front-load changes that are likely to need iteration & user feedback

• Tb 3.0 & b3 draft schedules forthcoming

• Firefox 3.5 slipping; we may want to consider shipping off something before 1.9.1 and uplifting to 1.9.1 after.
