Expect to hear more from the other EPMs on this subject, but this is a no-brainer for General Engineering to get on board with (we're already pretty much doing this). Here's an immediate challenge we face: in order to release 1.18, we need to get the red line in this graph to zero: http://toolserver.org/~robla/crstats/crstats.118all.html As of midnight UTC on June 3, we were at 1594 revisions. Doing the math, in order to get close to zero by July 15, we have to review 265 revisions/week. That means: 2011-Jun-03 1594 2011-Jun-10 1329 2011-Jun-17 1064 2011-Jun-24 799 2011-Jul-01 534 2011-Jul-08 269 2011-Jul-15 4 So, can we make it a goal to get to 1329 by this time next week? That first 265 should be a lot easier than the last 265, so if we can't get through the first 265, then we don't really stand a chance.
