I've been moaning about the fact that Nova is like a happy <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">oblivious little child for way too long, so I'll take on the two bugs that teach it that things can go wrong in the real world:<div>

At the last meeting we discussed having a recurrent post to the ML to,<br>
in Devin's words, "push priorities in front of eyeballs"...<br>
<br>
Here is my first attempt at it, trying to single out a few branches and<br>
bugs that need attention.<br>
<br>

Let me know if you find it useful or not.<br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------<br>
We are 10 days to Feature Freeze, so the focus must be on (in descending<br>
order of priority):<br>
<br>
1- Writing code and proposing branches on accepted Cactus specs<br>
2- Review already-proposed Cactus feature branches<br>
3- Review already-proposed bugfix branches<br>
4- Fixing reported bugs<br>
5- Testing and report new bugs<br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------<br>
