    8. List obstacles in the way of getting basic the work done.
    9. Estimate the date for having sources checked in somewhere (patches to bug, branch, new directory, etc..)
    10. List branch name and build instructions or provide link (so other engineers can look at the code and try builds)
    11. Tell when basic work is completed and your ready for help in testing.
    12. Estimate the date for having experimental builds posted on mozilla.org
    13. Provide location of experimental build(s) when they have been posted
    14. Provide link or info about test plans or testing needs.
    15. Provide dependency bug number or bugzilla query for filing, finding and tracking any/all regressions that surface in experimental build testing evaluation.
    16. Complete a review/assessment of regression bug list (uber landing planner(s))
    17. Estimate the date for carpool
    18. Schedule the carpool.
    19. Provide status updates as the car pool landing progresses
    20. Recap the landing and move to the completed landing list.
