I'm not really sure, I think it usually winds up being pretty long at a weekly format. Weekly works well for QA stuff as that's our schedule. So personally I'm quite happy with the current setup. For this week in particular, I can go with today or tomorrow, doesn't really matter. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ news mailing list news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/news
