In preparation for shipping an 8.2.0 build to manufacturing, we need to
agree on release criteria. To that end, I have stubbed out rough ECO
documentation for 8.2.0 at

   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0
   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0/Checklist

Please review these pages and offer suggestions on their talk pages so
that I can fold your comments into the pages over the next week.

So far, the most important changes I have made include:

   * Stating some of the technical documentation that future stable
     releases should include and making space for us to try creating that
     documentation for 8.2.0 at our leisure.

   * Stating the list of locales and keyboards which I believe must be
     minimally qualified for 8.2.0. See

       http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Notes/Localization_1

     for notes on what I mean by 'release X is qualified for locale Y'.

   * Created a test item for documentation signoff on the manual and
     activities signoff on the derivative builds.

   * Created final test items for release criteria including:

        "1 week of community testing"
        "all recent bugs triaged"
        "no 8.2.0 blockers"
        "release notes signoff"

What have I missed?
