I agree with your point. I'm fine with setting deadlines and such, but my main concern is that the first deadline shouldn't be two days after it is announced. If the announcement were that we have a tracker and some languishing bugs, and we'd like to push to get them closed in two weeks I'd feel differently. Rich
