Mozilla Foundation activities, week ending 2008/04/11

This is my report on activities related to the Mozilla Foundation for the week ending April 11, 2008. (I’m now caught up on status reports.) Note that I was out almost all week taking care of family medical matters, so the report is somewhat skimpy.

Projects for the week

Here’s a summary of what Foundation-related activities went on last week; for more information about others’ activities please see the weekly status reports published by David Boswell, Gerv Markham, and Zak Greant.
