Sure. What priorities should we use? How about the following: 1 - Showstopper: Must be fixed before shipping alpha, beta or final 2 - Major: Must be fixed before shipping 2.04 3 - Minor: Should be fixed before shipping 4 - Nitpick: Would be nice if it's fixed before shipping, but quite possibly will never be fixed If the bug tracking system has priorities, we probably should use them.

Perhaps we can both autobuild all the packages, but only upload half each? That way we'd save on the 'phone bill and get more testing. ;) Thanks, bye, Rich =] -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
