 * Due to the project intake-form to be only a short-term solution and just a basic Google Doc form, it is not technically a tool. We are not implementing a tool at this time as the first phase of the this initiative is to just bring visibility and not make anything more complicated. In the future, we are investing a simple overview tool that would allow this type of planning, but requirements have yet to be formalized.

-While it is true that the teams that are most commonly requested to assist with projects will benefit the most from visibility into projects, it will only be beneficial to the organization if it is comprehensive. If there are major gaps in terms of Mozilla products that are submitted it will only lead to future confusion and incorrect planning when those projects are then formally requested of the intended teams. This confusion will negate the entire benefit of doing this initiative thus the only way to do it effectively is to do it comprehensively. Think of Mozilla as one big team and while not every initiative will help every team directly, it will make us stronger as a whole.
+While it's true teams with the most cross-functional dependencies and resource constraints will benefit the most from this initiative, having a comprehensive list is crucial to the success of all projects. Not submitting can lead to confusion and incorrect planning when those projects are eventually requested of the intended teams. Think of Mozilla as one big team, and while not every initiative will help every team directly, it will make us stronger as a whole.
