Yes, thanks, to clarify: - Sync-dev returns to Sync-specific discussion. - FxAcct-dev is spun up to capture FxAcct-specific discussion. - User Services is retired. Instead, each product group maintains the knowledge-as-a-wiki wrt it's scope of a given feature-as-a-service. IMHO, esp as we were recently reorg'd into product dedicated groups to increase clarity, focus and results, new Firefox integrated features-as-a-service can and must be divided into its client and server components. Client components are the responsibility of the respective Fox team. Server components are the responsibility of Cloud Services team. Andreas, Nightingale and Mayo prioritize/arbitrate bwtn teams if/as necessary. "Tightly aligned, loosely coupled teams"-based organizations, such as I'm suggesting, are highly effective largely because potential inter-team dependencies/blockers are early identified and clearly assigned. To my organizational delight, the first and last "User Services" FTE was me -- then we reorg'd into product dedicated teams and I was happily reassigned to Cloud Services. As such, "User Services" is an abstraction that maps to a matrix'd team that does not exist. If this is too meta, I'll take off-list w/ Andreas, Nighingale and Mayo. :) > I think most of the hard-won knowledge captured in that section of the wiki > still very much applies to all of the feature work that's on our product > wishlist.
