Review of current board
Missing NWE

What to change

 * TODO:Joel: low-priority Phab feature request: don't show the hidden tranches in the main Tranche list, but show them somewhere else out of the way
 * TODO: James: Add NWE
 * Add category in Phlogiston config
 * Tag NWE main task as a "category" so that its subtasks will show up in Phlogiston in the NWE category
 * Can we subdivide NWE?
 * Barriers to subdivide:
 * Already represents 2+ years of work
 * some tasks are research work with high uncertainty
 * May split across multiple tasks some information that third parties would need to read in one place to understand
 * Possible benefits:
 * better (finer-grained) forecasting
 * better prepared for non-Ed developers to take some work (which team agreed at the Retro was possible)
 * Opportunity to do work breakdown
 * capture some thinking in writing/James/Ed brain sync with notes
 * way to do some requirements and design thinking
 * TODO: Joel to book work breakdown meeting
