Subject: milestone plan proposal
From: Tommi Leino (namhas@majik.netti.fi)
Date: Mon May 31 1999 - 09:45:48 EEST
Whine about this and (designers only, for devs these are already quite selected
;>) then select the tasks you would like to participate and tell the design
about it. We should follow this quite strictly, so do not do anything else
big-projects until we have all the tasks done we need for the milestone
advancement. So do not say "I'm busy with economy system and can't do anything
else", because that is not something you should do now. Only those that are in
the current milestone's TODO. If you can't take any project from this, then
don't take but at least say it. I will try to assign new designers then to do
the tasks that anyone isn't taking or if nothing else works, the task is moved
to the next milestone.
This milestone plan is quite a KIUKKU, but if we want to see something someday,
we _CAN_ follow this if we want.
