Making this forum more useful...
I suggest starting a thread for each nightly build. Each thread would be a place for people to post comments about that build: new bugs, bugs fixed, etc., with links to bugzilla for tracking the specific bugs.
Right now it's hard to figure out which nightlies work on which platforms and which don't.

Part of the problem is that people will report the same bugs day after day. Checkins can be tracked via
http://backprop.net/mozilla/bonsaibugs/ ... h=moztrunk
http://backprop.net/mozilla/bonsaibugs/ ... ch=phoenix
Significant trunk checkins are mentioned daily in the Mozilla Builds group. I think it's better to have threads that are bug-specific than day specific.

How about a thread on best current builds then? It's harder than it should be to figure when the risk-averse among us should upgrade to a newer nightly.

Is MMDD considered acceptable, simply implying the year?
Standard is best. yyyy-mm-dd. Ordered by significance.

I agree. I always get confused when people from different parts of the world use DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY freely.

I repeat: Use YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD.
Not XX/YY/ZZ where X, Y and Z is randomized between Y, M and D.
Sounds like a good idea.
