CVS over SSH update

• Working on modding despot instead
• Figuring out how to add users to the CVS server

Thunderbird update

• Lots of people evaluating 0.4, finding 1.6 beta bugs

Testcase Manager

• Asa's work on this was on hold
• Working on Bugzilla reorganisation last week
• It's in a roughly usable state
• Still working on test groupings
• 150 testcases into the system
• Myk has an outstanding queue of fixes to do

Bugzilla reorganisation

• New plan because of pending Bugzilla improvements
• Same reorganisation, but not reassign all the bugs
• Can decouple assignee changes from component changes
• Hixie and Myk have SQL magic to allow component moves directly
• Component reorg this week or next
• Mass reassignment to nobody for dead owners and QA contacts
• Then component watching comes along when it does
• Myk to review Gerv's code for Component Watching
