Ideally, we'd be merging in the week of August 19-23. The week after the 
proposed test day.

I should probably have been more clear about the context of this proposal.

fig is a major rewrite of large parts of our UI. This means that backing out is 
not an option (or at least a very painful option that we *really* want to 
avoid).

With that said, we have to be fairly confident that fig is in good enough shape 
before landing it to m-c. The goal I had in mind for this test day was simply 
to increase our confidence on the new code before merging.

After some discussion on IRC, it seems like a better way to approach this is:

- Do an informal test day within our team on August 16 (Friday, next week). We 
can discuss (and possibly decide) on the readiness of fig in the front-end 
meeting (at 9h30, Pacific Time).
- If we actually merge between August 19 and 23, do a proper test day in the 
following week. Maybe August 30? That's about 2 weeks before the next merge day 
(September 16).

Thoughts?
