+1. Additional value that I see in more subtle initial in-product marketing (targeted at existing sync users) is so that v1 bugs hit a smaller portion of our user base before we scale up. Once we have the first hundred thousand users syncing, we'll have actual data to drive the feature roadmap as well as our scaling efforts. lloyd > - A > _______________________________________________ > Sync-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev
