Yup - If I was confident that the direction was wrong, I'd be willing to say so, even if my being on leave led to a stall in the work. I have, at most, feelings and concerns.... Having the feature roughly usable when we talk will in fact make it easier to reason about - there will be less speculation, and it can be test driven. (Have I mentioned I'd love everything in LP to be taggable, both by the owner, and in private collections?) -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
