  • SupportFlow Issues

    One of our goals for 2016 is to distribute the task of responding to SupportFlow tickets.

  • The Lessons We Most Need

    After quite a bit of number crunching (item 4) and testing plan outreach, I think it’s time for us to rethink how we plan which lessons to write. We started out Q1 with 45 lessons and too few hands to get them done before the end of March, so I’d like to suggest a new plan for us.…

  • Agenda for January 19, 2016 Meeting
