to facilitate that, i will be facilitating Design and Development Focus 
Sprints. these will be time-boxed efforts ranging from 1 to 3 weeks, depending 
on the expected size of the topic, where we focus on *one* component of Active 
(Files, books + eReader, Add Ons, etc). 

the first days will be spent using and testing what currently exists and then 
documenting and prioritizing:

* functional defects
* user experience improvements
* missing function

we will keep these three in separate lists and prioritize each list once 
collated. we will then spend the rest of the time-box to work through the 
lists from top to bottom in one or more branches.

we will do continual review of the branch(es) and at the end of the time 
period we will do a final integration testing and then merge down into master 
if indeed ready. we will then call that component as "done" for PA4. only in 
the case of major defects will we spend additional time.

the idea is to focus to the point of obsession on each piece of Plasma Active 
during a given time span so that PA4 will shine even brighter.

the current list of scheuled topics, in alphabetical order, include:

* Add-Ons
* Alarms
* Books + eReader
* Browser
* Files
* keyboard
* News / MicroBlog
* Share Like Connect

if there are other items that should be added here, please speak up now :)
