Branch Landing Updates 3-30-1

[Chris Hofmann]

 
Could get real interesting around the end of next week again
with lots of stuff on the horizon for landing.

I'm working on a new tool to help gather and communicate
up-to-date info on major things hitting the tree.
Hoping to get the tool posted on mozilla.org next week
so folks can update with live information.

If your inside the netscape firewall you can help by
adding details about the areas listed below into the form..
If your outside the firewall and you want to provide updates
send them to me until we get this posted on mozilla...

Next Branch Landing Review Meeting is planned for
Wed. April 4.  1:30p
b21 Pit or 1.877.708.6777 mtg code 5539

thanks.
