Re: Easy Checks - before and after launch

Hi Shawn,

I had a look, but obviously limited time.

Yes.

However it was hard for me, looking through the issues, to find out what 
had been addressed and it would be good to go through the issues and 
close as much as we can. Some issues seem addressed and others not 
relevant anymore. Some might even be minor text fixes pre-launch.

I don’t feel that we can make significant re-write changes to any 
document that should make it in time to the relaunch. I expect an easy 
checks revision to come out in Q1 or Q2 of 2018 which is close enough to 
the relaunch that we don’t need to put in significant energy before 
the relaunch.
