Yes but there has been quite a number of 'last minute important fixes'
traffic, not least a few fixes I consider important. I can't find
anything that lets me know if those fixes are queued up anywhere - not
even with the magical 'look at internal server' patch. Without the
sqfixes page and its brethren I'm stuck. Terribly vexing.

I'd suggest we need to caucus on the issue of some tools to help us
handle fixes and changes more effectively in preparation for the
onslaught of brilliant ideas that is likely to hit us like a tsunami for
3.5

First suggestion I'd like to make is that the sqfixes page be changed to
make use of more targetted editing capabilities of swiki; rather than
having to edit the entire chunk of code, it is actually possible to have
an edit dooberry for each individual item.

Second nice thing would be some interface so that
a) 'ordinary' people can comment on a proposed change
b) guides and other vouched people can comment and 'vote'
c) the area-guide can signify yea/nay and have the change automatically
moved to an appropriate holding area
d) an accepted change gets the update number attached for tracking
Probably possible with swiki or seaside?
