Top five things in January:

1. Worked with Erinn to get a TBB-alpha based on Firefox 17 out the
door. It seems to work!

2. Went through the Firefox developer notes and undocumented bugs list
to find features that need closer code review. Surprisingly, the new
"Social API" was documented in neither place (but was in the release
notes, at least).

3. Did some Torbutton code cleanup and simplification for Firefox
17-ESR. More remains.

4. Interviewed 2-3 more project coordinator candidates and summarized
and discussed the results.

5. Did a bunch of work to improve the Path Bias code to guard against
various types of miscounting and state issues. Also separated out
circuit usage failures into separate explicit counters.


Top five things for February:

February is Firefox, Firefox, Firefox!

1. Finish reviewing new feature code for FF17.

2. Simplify Torbutton some more. There's still a bunch of unused code.
Hopefully reduce the preference UI, too. Also put out a release or two.

3. Update the design doc to cover FF17 and the changes in the past year.
Except really, this time.

4. Forge a 2048 bit offline signing key for Torbutton and make a new
update URL.

5. Fully transition us over to FF17-ESR for TBB-stable.
