I'll take the blame on this. I wasn't totally familiar with the task
priority stuff going into and didn't really figure it out until about
halfway through.

Seems like a good idea, although you'll still need to bracket some
time for helping people out over email (hopefully on the lists if

I don't really have a strong opinion on this one. It seems like a good
idea to me, but I'm happy to leave the decision up to somebody more
closely involved with that.

I'll take the blame for this one, too. My eyes were bleeding by the
time I managed to get halfway through setting up the May sprint page,
so there was sure to be at least one error.
