Let's talk about scheduling a session.

There's been an appropriate amount of emphasis on test automation.   
But I don't think anything will ever replace at least a double-check  
of key new features.  Previous manual checking has caught things like,  
oh, features not actually being checked in and so forth.  As Hub  
service manager, I like to personally double check stuff that's high  
profile.

Combining "manual double check" with IRC QA session makes sense.  It's  
better when manual double checks have been run before a IRC QA  
session, but I think combining them is an appropriate use of limited  
QA resources.

How's tomorrow 1pm, for an IRC session?  Any other time would be fine  
too.
