Angad:

Apart from the offline conversation that we had:

1. When do we take this live ?
2. Do you have time to take this live ? Do you require assistence ?
3. Which time of the day is the best for you to work on taking this
live ? Others from the Belenix/BOSUG lists can meet up on IRC and then
help test the site :)
4. I'd like a list of critical usage paths which we must have in place
- I can help write Sahi (http://sahi.co.in) scripts for those so that
we can use sahi to test the website st scheduled intervals.
