Thanks Shree and Sumandro! Shree I agree there is a lot to do with BBMP. I think if we keep our asks specific we can keep a working lists of asks public and whenever anyone goes we can continue to ask.
I'm going through the talks and the notes now for the summary. I think if we come up with a decent list on this thread. We can send it.
