Test Pilot Experiment Dev Meeting notes - May 8

Hi all!

Last Monday, the Test Pilot dev team got together with Test Pilot experiment teams to share updates and future plans.

We’ll be having another of these meetings next Monday; I’ll send out a reminder later this week, but info is here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Test_Pilot/Meeting

Notes are pasted in below, and can also be found on the wiki.

Cheers,

Jared
