[feedhenry-dev] Using mailing list as main source of new functionalities

Wed Nov 23 09:49:48 UTC 2016

Happy to jump in on a call to share what I know about it, I think it's
going to be very powerful for teams, stakeholders and public information
sharing. I'm hoping that it works for DevX which has a smaller footprint
than our huge RHMAP project and the complexity of the boards there. It will
help me make the necessary changes to get this working for all teams.
