review period, roadmap

[Bruce D'Arcus <bruce.darcus@OpenDocument.us>]

Last week during the call Patrick mentioned a one month review period 
for the use case document. I'd like to suggest this is too long, and 
that we might speed this process up a bit.

Logic:

We have three stages, with ascending levels of difficulty and potential 
controversy. We're now at the simplest (though admittedly rather 
expansive in terms of imagining what this support might offer), and 
least controversial.

If we assume each stage gets a month review period, that means three 
months in total, with I think disproportionate weight on the first.

As I've said before, I really don't think there will be any significant 
changes between the current draft and the final.

So what I suggest instead is that on Monday we say we'd like to collect 
comments for two weeks on the draft, and will come back with a finished 
document the first TC call after that.

I'd like to suggest, further, that we have an aggressive time-frame for 
the requirements document; say August 15. we may not make it, but we're 
already two months late on the use cases, and I think we need to push 
on this a bit (in part because classes start for me late-August, and my 
time will likely go away as a result, but also because if we don't we 
may not make ODF 1.2).
