Networking/Archive/IndividualPriorities

General Priorities

These priorities apply to all team members at all times:

1. Security bugs rated sg:moderate or higher.
2. Review requests older than one week.

These should be taken care of before any other work is done.

Individual Priorities

Only networking team members should be changing priorities. If you have questions about priorities or anything else on this list please email the relevant person or Josh Aas (networking team manager).
