This week, on FxA Show & Tell: Shane saved us from the monotony of manually converting our draft features in Google Docs into full features in markdown on GitHub! It turns out, there is a fancy script we can use to automatically compose markdown from a Google Doc. Use the Script Editor in a Google Docs, paste this script <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mangini/gdocs2md/master/converttomarkdown.gapps>, and it will email you the converted markdown.
Vijay showed us some work he's been doing to allow users to have multiple email addresses associated with their account. Walking through several queries in MySQL Workbunch, they included showing how the DB keeps track of which email is the primary, and that each email has its verified state independent of others. Alex had a preliminary report on a large A/B(C/D/E/etc?) test that was run on the Firefox First Run page. Several different headlines were tried, and we still need to sort the data better, but it looks like the current page (not an experiment) of "You're almost done" performed the best. Vlad reminded us that old crappy browsers do indeed exist, and that we can do a better job of allowing a user verify their account if they use one. Included in the list was our ancestor Firefox 3, and excitement was had that things like Opera Mini, which don't even execute any JavaScript, can now successfully verify an email for a user. Take that, verification rate!
