Agreements? Disagreements? Hi! I'd like to help move this along to production. I have very limited knowledge of the MM codebase, but I did attend the MM FAD, so I have at least a vague understanding of how it works. Are there any changes to these lists since last week? What might be productive to work on? Like I said, my knowledge is limited, but pickle validation sounds like a pretty general Python task. Maybe I could look into that? Any direction and info on some task(s) I could try my hand at is appreciated. :) -- David _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
