  • need for project manager. (salary,...)
  • small business research in US. difficulties in patent arena. (awarded in cell phenotypes) ... IP!!! (papers & patents)
  • code policy: research areas (break system)--> branch creation policy (wiki and nitpick) (go to subversion for this? -josh) anything broken in HEAD everyone fixes it. (third party patches being controlled centrally eventually??)---> plugin architecture will help this!!! (stf)
  • searchable archive for wiki, nitpick, bugzilla, ....?? (chris)
  • proposal: finishing up at the end of the year — freeze? — 6 weeks of defining rebuild of arch. (large mtg. mid feb.)
