We are not talking about a weekly teleconference, but a short series to cover the most difficult issues.

While some things are easier to clear up via phone, it really seems wise to only use teleconference time for things where we've failed to reach agreement on the list, where all issues can be discussed in parallel.

If I were cynical I could have picked 10 of the editorial/typo issues and claim that calls are awesomely efficient. But as Chris mentioned on the call, we picked the most difficult of the list, and managed to reached a tentative resolution in 30minutes or so.

True not everyone could be on the call and as a result the discussions are still ongoing, but it is undeniable that the call helped us make progress in a way that two weeks of back-and-forths on the list certainly wouldn't.

I'm happy for us to look into it. Doug, Thierry, could you talk to the systems team and get an idea of how hard it would be to migrate our tracker issues to a public bugzilla instance? Knowing if they have a tool to migrate automatically would help us decide if it is reasonable to consider the switch at all.

Thanks,
