Open Beta push
Important!
Since Open Beta is only a few weeks away, we're going to be pushing a little harder on the bugs that are still open. We will start doing things such as poking more often for status updates on bugs you have assigned, randomly having people jump in to help on assigned but unfinished bugs, encouraging people to unassign bugs if they don't have time, etc.
I will also be ceasing reviews/commits of non-Open Beta blockers. Personally, my time is very limited what with having a day job and a wedding coming up. The few hours I have each evening for Dreamwidth need to be prioritized. I will not be touching bugs that are not for Open Beta from this point forward.
Committers: April 15th is a hard cutoff for committing anything that does not have to do with Open Beta. I will back out any commits that are not generated by patches to bugs that are marked blocking-open-beta after this date. As of April 15th, we need to stop the huge change delta and focus on fixes and final implementation of any remaining bugs.
The goal is to give us two weeks of "feature complete" to test, fix, test, fix, test, fix, tweak, test, test, test, certify!
When 50,000 people pound down the doors on April 30th, I want them to find a site that is sturdy, functional, and a joy to use. I have absolute faith in all of you, and I think that together we will blow them away with how awesome this thing we're building is.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to comment to this entry or contact me privately!
Huzzah!
