Awesome -- Thanks Alaa.

You're right -- we're very close.

Just updated the todolist --

We need to update the feeds, make blogs default, and change text to Democratic Convention Edition.

Let's roll - please place your name next to the tasks you want to take on.

I'm on AIM - btw - "joeparamount"

Best,

-- Joe

Hi Abi,

Welcome to the group.

Joe,

I think we're good to go. I addressed some points in the todo and
cleaned it up a bit. I'll be online for about another hour or so in case
you need anything.

Thanks, Alaa!  Appreciate the late night scramble.

We're launch trigger happy - there are two fixes I would like added before sending new ver. to AMO.  Copied from todo list:

- bug: "News" tab is no longer selected when panel is first opened.(Alaa: It is on my copy. Stale xpi maybe.) (Joe - latest xpi still has problem -- see screenshot)

2 - Change to Democratic Convention Edition - see Dietrich latest, can we change - http://obamafox.googlegroups.com/web/democraticconventionedition.png?gsc=RvHzZQsAAAAcnJIxkbkhZmfBGYzlPlPs

I'm also concerned the feeds aren't updating every fifteen minutes.  I notice the latest Tweet I'm seeing now is an hour old.

Karl - I know the sun is practically just rising over there and Seth mentioned you had a lot on your plate today.  I'm cool with launching tomorrow if you think we can address these issues today. Any time you can devote would be much appreciated.  Let me know.

Thanks!
-- Joe

Hi Joe,

I feel like I'm 12 hours off of everyone else.

I spent a little time tracking down the "News" tab bug last night, I'm
half way there (to do with dynamically generating XUL tabs, rather than
hard coding then), so Alaa leave that one to me, unless your've solved
it already.

I'll deal with the close button as well, asap.
and i take it we just need to use the other image to "Change to
Democratic Convention Edition"

Don't know if I've got time enough today to help on this one though :(.

Karl

Karl - I always feel like my time zone is off too - I'm originally from NY so often feel 3 hours behind in a way.  I read somewhere how RubyonRails benefited from being built in different time zones :)

Thanks for working on updating the "news" tab feature.

For the title - Dietrich built an xpi that included the image I took the screenshot of (dnc xpi attached).  Can we change that text to "Democratic Convention Edition"  I admit this request was confusing.  The text in Dietrich's image is "Convention Edition, Denver 2008"  My thoughts are that changing it to "Democratic Convention Edition" would be more clear.

We can push updating the close button, that's not as high as making sure all the feeds update every 15 min, as seamlessly as possible.  My feeds just updated (after an hour) and recently my browser has been getting glitchy and super slow when it updates -- that's how I know it's updating  ;) .   I've removed all other extensions and this is still occuring.  Using 3.0.1/Vista

Thanks in advance for anything you can do today !  

Best,
-- Joe

Joe, do you want the text to say
"Democratic Convention Edition" or
"Democratic Convention Edition, Denver 2008"
