Well, the question is if installer changes are short term goals or more
long terms and before trying to setup any meeting, it would be nice to
collect more data from other groups. So personally, I'd say Flock would
be great opportunity to discuss it but on the other hand, it's always
nice to be prepared for such conversation. The other groups Tech Spec
should be available within a week, then let's try to look for overlapping
pieces and I'm definitely volunteer to work on it. Once we have it,
it's going to be a good time to discuss details and as Base, we should
incorporate it to our Base design.
