I'm hearing the same thing from everyone.

decision: 
1. As far as the client engineering team - "ELM is the place where code ends 
up" - it doesn't matter how it gets there.
2. Anything that has cross-team implications (like say, gavin needs to review a 
patch from lloyd), goes in bugzilla.

good?

lloyd

(P.S. My desire was to craft out a short set of milestones with minutiae, like 
"add a preference for disabling new sync", or "determine where implementation 
will land in the client" or "implement container for authentication" - I'll 
just do this in a etherpad, that works for me.)
