I don't think that there is any new information in these tickets,
outside from what we already discussed on the list.

Ok, so we'll try to react quickly this week (before the 7) if you have
questions or are blocked. Then we'll leave you alone from the 7th to the
12th.

Ok, so I set elevated prio on:

- #10686: Network disconnection shouldn't make download fail in DAVE
- #10678: Prevent DAVE from reloading the page every 10s

And lowered prio on:

- #10685: Change in IDF should reset DAVE (← needs a confirmation)

Just to clarify, my bullet point referred to the work on Tails Installer
done with intrigeri and u, so there's no implication for you I think.

But yes, once you committed a fix in your repo you should mark your
tickets as "Ready for QA" and assigned to me (or tchou).

Regarding the deadline, as none of our work goes into the actual ISO
image, our deadline is only to be ready when 1.5 is announced. That's on
Tuesday 15 late CET. I think that our work should be done on Monday 14
so I can have some time on Tuesday to integrate everything on the
website, make sure everything works as expected, write the release
notes, etc.

Regarding your schedule, when would you do the process to upload to AMO?
Before the 7? Between the 7 and the 12?
