Other stuff
- Google Summer of Code 2008 (Helen)
- I (Tim Hunt, OU Moodle developer and Moodle quiz module maintainer) will be there. I don't have anything in particular that I want to say, but I am very happy to talk about anything anyone else wants to cover that I know about.
- It might be good to have a general discussion on general testing/QA issues. Eg. bug triage, encouraging more testing/QA contributors, the weekly review etc. --Dan Poltawski 13:14, 30 May 2008 (CDT)
