Friends in testing

NB: Since the schedule for the next G1G1 is not firm, it is not known how much time will be available in which to fix critical bugs or to change activities before delivering a release to manufacturing. Consequently, we have decided to make:

• an "short-term" ship plan - "ship 8.1.0 release (official-703) with no changes to the G1G1 activity pack available today" - anticipating immediate image delivery,
• a "medium-term" ship plan - "ship the 8.1.1 release (currently candidate-708) and minor changes to the G1G1 activity pack available today" - anticipating 4 weeks time before image delivery, and
• a "long-term" ship plan - "defer the ship decsision until better information is available" - anticipating more than 10 weeks time before image delivery.

Your assistance would be invaluable in improving the results of the "medium-term" and "long-term" ship plans.
