Hello all, Here is the proposed Drill board report. Could everyone please take a look and add comments by noon thursday? I'd like to highlight both recently submitted and other issues in progress. I put the ones that I knew, but I'd like to highlight the work on the metastore, anything else that people would like highlighted. Thanks! -- C
