Worked poorly
edit- 80/20 Rule. Would like to think about behaviors for us instead of traditional patterns +1.++++ [Vibha]
- Would be great to have automated builds ++ [Bernd - Android, Brion - iOS]
- Not "poorly" per se, but sometimes community members are more enthusiastic about bug-reporting than our capacity to handle new work allows for, and some of those bugs are super edge-case. Devs should never feel pressured to work on stuff just because somebody on Bugzilla says something is broken ;)
- I (Dan) felt quite distant with everyone being at the Hackathon then me being remote for two weeks afterwards
- Need more ios testers! [monte]
Confuses Us

- iOS market release unclear++++ [Dan]
- Continued/detailed testing with Android 2.3/3/4/etc? (+1 +1 +1)+
- Community stake+
- Developer and Product standpoint on standard vs custom [Vibha]+
- Who came up with the concept of visas? (evil people)muhuhahahah!
- Way too much stuff on Trello from Design. Managing designs so everyone has a point of ref.
- What will be the difference between alpha and beta for Android
- How is everyone feeling? tired
- How to declare who is working on a specific bug (Trello vs Bugzilla?)
