Fellow Report - November 28, 2014

[Tim Graham]

I did a lot of review this week and cleared the "ready for checkin" queue after falling behind a bit during travel earlier in the month. I hope we'll be able to release 1.7.2 next week, so please submit a patch for any of the release blockers affecting 1.7 if you are interested in seeing them fixed for this release.

The unreviewed ticket queue is down to a handful of tickets including 3 tickets regarding javascript_catalog which have been languishing for several months. If anyone has an interest in this area, it would be great to get some feedback on them. If not, I suppose I can take a look, although I haven't done any work in that area.
