Being an open source project, we need to embrace the ideas and criticisms from other individuals and projects. There is no director of development saying how things will work. In order to get the most information possible and make the right decision, it was a requirement to pull in many people from many different teams. The project started off with two developers on the Talos framework, two on Datazilla/Graph Server, and two statisticians on loan from our metrics team. We opened up this project to our volunteers from the beginning and pulled in many fresh faces to Mozilla as well as others who used Graph Server and some Talos tests for their own projects. As we worked together, slowly understanding what permutations of test runs would give us less noisy results, we reached out to include several Mozilla developers in the project. Our first meetings with them were understandably rocky, due to the large changes we were proposing to make. The mystery of “Talos” was making this a hard sell for many developers who cared a lot about performance.
