Late March 2011: Is there usually this much frustration?
Late March 2012: Sippin' on the haterade
May 2014: Let's bring CD back to the way it used to be

*an outlier here, but extremely relevant.
The old saying in finance goes... "go away in May, come back in September to play". I've always thought that it could apply to CD too.

As for the general quality control post on this forum, I would like to see some more of the tribal knowledge in FRC institutionalized somewhere like a Wiki that could be easier to send a rookie team in need to. There are soo many best practices here that really just stop on some thread from 2006, it would be great to see that go somewhere that would do it justice. Maybe a wiki isn't the best place because the community needs to emphasize and validate information, but I'll let the community figure that out.

I'm just looking for a way to add some corporate jargon to this place.
