 * Leaving no asses unkicked.


 * Identifying optimisations and ways to improve the app


 * put updates on project page


 * document on wiki page(s)


 * Developing more expertise within the team by exploring new things


 * knowledge exchange could be useful


 * Writing clean codes

== Stop ==


 * Bouncing back and forth between release boards - it’s annoying+100


 * postmortem w/ Jon K, Margeigh, Charlotte to address specific problems with J+K boards


 * in general, problems around waiting for other teams


 * Charlotte to figure out how to deal in future


 * Deviating from standard platform behavior (based on design whim)


 * design makes something similar to standard but requires custom component


 * need to emphasize working with platform framework, deviation has costs


 * custom should be rare exception not default - create process to maintain this

== Start ==


 * Verifying design details are buildable before going to estimate tickets (possibly in design kickoff meeting)


 * figure out a process to go through this, work with Carolyn to guide it


 * meet together to discuss w/ new Android designer during All Hands week
