=== Foundations ===  * Feature Freeze Exception requests:
  * datetime menu support for browsing calendars ([[Bug:726531]])
  * ALT-F2 ([[Bug:580295]])
  * places a11y ([[Bug:731403]])
  * overlay scrollbar ([[Bug:730740]])
  * multi-touch support in Unity (depends on other MT FFEs, [[Bug:XXX]])
Line 25: Line 19:
 * Blueprints: finalizing the exact extent of the changes, though most blueprints are already registered, reviewed and approved
 * Work items for alpha-1 & 2: being refined
 * We won't request FFEs on that though:
  * compiz dialog style (plugin only, but too late as it may impact the decorator)
  * places scrollbar (njpatel: it’s too late to do this)
  * bamf transient API (https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/664711)
  * appmenu FS case (https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/591189)
  * compiz mandatory plugins (does that need an FFE?)
Line 28: Line 26:
Of note this week:
  * The Unity team is on fire, with
   * 41 bugs fixed on Thursday! See [[https://launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/3.6.4]]
   * on top of the 30 others fixed on Monday [[https://launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/3.6.2]]
  * lots of a11y fixes, but places was not at reach this week
  * overlay scrollbar got a priority increase: we're working at full speed to fix bugs we see [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-scrollbar/+bugs]] and got support from QA & Platform in general to get more user testing
