Wiki Performance Any Better?
The wiki was supposed to be better by now after some kernel tweaks. Please let me know if you still thinks it's too slow. I do.

New JIRA Project Ready for Testing
Kuali Student has a new JIRA project (KS Application Specs, see https://test.kuali.org/jira/browse/KSAPPSP or just https://test.kuali.org/jira/) Feel free to try putting your team's action items int this JIRA project.

Future KS Team Members
Many of you were put through a rigorous search process before you got to join the team. Others were assigned to the team from the powers that be. Now that we've all been here awhile, how can we leverage our experience to help select successful future team mates? I've asked Johanna review our KS BA JD (how's that for abbreviation stringing) and see if they need adjusting. If you have ideas please pass them on.
