I like this idea. Packaging, L10n, i18n, QA - the potential of a
short, quick scrum to tick off items and get things done would work
out nicely.

We would require a page to keep a track of the FADs happening and
insist on similar reporting as we do for events.

Perhaps a simple requirement of having specific SMART goals that are
tactical rather than strategic is something we can easily mandate for
the FADs.
