==What we could do better==
===General===
* Get all SUMO devs committing to Tiki, not just Nelson.  Don't expect TW people to read bugzilla, same with Jive.
* UX: conduct a review


==What we could do better==
===Testing===
===Testing===
* Testing and QA generally although we have started leaving a longer window for this
* Writing unit tests: this needs to happen in 2009
* Writing unit tests: this needs to happen in 2009
* Load testing
* Load testing
* More time for QA, help Stephen or whoever is doing the testing to understand what is being tested


===Planning and communication===
===Planning and communication===
* We could do better here: how?
* Communications with IT, with UX,...?
* More detailed PRDs well in time for the implementation
* More detailed PRDs well in time for the implementation
* Need to communicate better with the Tiki community, find a way to get some enthusiasm from the Tiki community (perf, sec, usability etc)
* IT communication: has been getting better, being a contractor and/or offsite made it difficult to know who in IT was responsible for what, and who to ask questions.  Onsites helped.
* Marketing: SUMO has been on its own, working on better integration for Q1.
* Release cycles: we should be aware of what Fx, Tb features etc are going out.
