You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trebuchet looks fussy to me. I do like Verdana -- I just think we have the font size set too large.

As Jess said, Verdana is larger for it's point size than most other fonts. That's one of the reasons it's especially good at small point sizes (and I'll even admit that it's probably better for displaying a font size of -2 than Trebuchet). I'm not advocating Trebuchet as a replacement. I just hate being forced to use Verdana for the thread body text, because I find it less readable at that size than even Arial.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Hey, Rob's offer to code Marcie was gratefully accepted, right? Can he get on the list and start looking at the source code to start coding, even before CVS is fully available for him to test his changes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd rather do this all at once.

Am Chau, we should expand the list to include the following information where available:

request
priority
requestor (first only)
post in which requested
developer(s) assigned
date requested
date assigned
date specced out
date started
date completed
date tested
date rolled out

This topic might be dead, but one can make one's own stylesheet to get rid of Verdana-ed text if one is willing.

Depends on the browser, Robert. Not all allow it.

ita, the first four (request, priority, requestor (first only), post in which requested), are already covered, although I can combine them for easire reading (currently I have two tables, one by post number, one by priority). For the others, I have the information only in a few cases, so you'll have to give me that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not all that information yet exists -- but we should make sure there are columns for it.

And we need to work out an easy way to post it, both here and to the mailing list.

Some of it - 'date requested', for instance- just needs finding, by scareing out the posts themselves. I can do that when I have lots of time. Some of it already exists in the form of 'implementation stage'- that's notes I've taken along the way 'so-and-so is working it', 'it's being tested' or suchlike, but I don't have dates for that sort of thing, because I assumed I was simply keeping a 'what's happening now' list.

As for simple ways to post it to the mailing list or here, um... not simple. (Which mailing list, specifically?)
