  • davida: too many bugs? slip or cut
    • various discussion; general feeling seemed to be that shipping was very important

• Bug-owners: please try to find a little time (an hour?) and go through as many bugs as you can and add a few paragraphs about implementation strategy and test plan. This will be helpful for both QA and for convincing people to step up to the plate for new bugs, and the hope is that it will actually be a net win as far as time spent goes, despite requiring the time-investment up-front.
  • Please try and write at least one TestPlan this week
