That's a really good plan. It will be great to not have to use the wiki. One suggestion: Maybe limit the bugs on the milestone that are considered blockers to open bugs with Critical importance? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
