Agreed.  We should get Robyn in on modifying the schedule a bit for F15.
 I think RH has a figure for how long it takes to QA a guide based on
the number of pages.  My thought is that if we keep all the changes on
BZ and only commit the patches once they have been approved by the QA
person then we could cut down on the amount of time it should take to do
the work.  Especially when you can look at the patch and see what was
changed (if you know the base was correct in the first place).

QA people can be assigned to each BZ product to automatically get the
tickets so all I need to do is figure out who wants to do what guides
and I can put that into BZ.
