Revision as of 01:09, 29 January 2009
Feature Wrangler Review
- Please update owner information
- John, why do you think feature ownership should be limited to individuals ?
- I'm fine with having the desktop team being the owners, but we need some kind of e-mail addy, so we can contact feature owners on FESCo meeting invites, summaries, etc. - bpepple
- If FESCo doesn't know how to contact the desktop team, we have a problem...
