The Test Pilot 2016 Q4 OKRs are published. Primarily we’ll be focused on continued growth of users (our overall 2016 goal). We deprioritized localization last quarter and over-rotated on publishing experiments by launching four when we were only aiming for one. This quarter we’ll turn that knob back down (we’re aiming for two new experiments) and get localization done.
We originally built Test Pilot on top of Django and some JS libraries to fulfill our product requirements as well as keep us flexible enough to evolve quickly since we were a brand new site.
For the third quarter of 2016 the Test Pilot team decided to try using the OKR method (an OKR overview) for our goal setting.
The Test Pilot team has been heads-down for months working on three new experiments for Firefox and you can get them all today!
I installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 this week and decided to try out Unity, the default window manager. After I installed Nightly I assumed it would be simple to get the icon to stay in the dock, but Unity seemed confused about Nightly vs the built-in Firefox (I assume because the executables have the same name).
