Action items from last meetings

  • [Standard8] Are WADA, Aryx, Chiaki Ishikawa and jcranmer from previous nomination covered already for swag?
    • [mconley says] I've pinged Standard8 on this as well, waiting for response.
  • [mconley]
    • Thunderbird usage data isn't public. Standard8 was tasked with getting that information released. What's the status on that?
      • Metrics says there's a "metrics-thunderbird-reports" mailing list that gets reports, but I haven't had any luck Googling this or finding it in the mailing list list. Has anybody heard of this? I've needinfo'd them for more data on it.
        • Can volunteer contributors be added to the metrics-thunderbird-reports list? That's the whole POINT of this.

Friends of the tree

  • clokep nominates JosiahOne for his work on modernizing the TB UI.

Current status and discussions

Critical Issues

  • Roland: no support issues as far as i can tell (other than gmail condstore and other known issues)

        • Hopefully they'll provide extra eyes over our implementation
