Alright I filed bug 1286076 [1] for tracking the "redirect MXR" discussion and bug 1286079 [2] for the "adding multi-line highlight to hgweb" discussion. I don't think I saw anything else actionable in the thread (the text contrast issue has already been fixed), but if you have specific requests I'd suggest filing a bug [3,4] in addition to any discussion here. -e [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1286076 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1286079 [3] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Webtools&component=DXR [4] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Developer%20Services&component=Mercurial%3A%20hg.mozilla.org _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
