There will be no Shield study; the team determined it was too risky, performance-wise.
Future plans: John Gruen will develop a proposal for implementing a PIP player in browser.
Notes
Experiment Definition document complete. This is essentially a future plan document for Notes and John will meet w/Alex Davis regarding plan for Notes, ideally next week.
Risk: Engineering contractor’s final week is next week.
Hoping to get a build into the Google Play store next week; this is a preliminary build only
Dot release for web extension likely next week; 2-3 bug fixes. Dependent on SV smoke test. Target: publish release before All Hands.
Release will likely be pushed out to July 10, so it doesn’t conflict with the release of 61.
