Subject: [Bigbang-dev] Please help test and debug

Hello,

I've been trying to hack away at the 0.2 tickets in preparation for the IETF workshop.

What I've found is that there's quite a bit of maintenance work to do just to get core functionality in a fresh build.

The reason for this is that we are not pegging our dependencies to specific versions. When the APIs of the underlying dependencies change, that breaks our code.

There are pros and cons to this. The con is that our code is broken. The pro is that this forces us to do some mainenance work that should refresh our understanding of how things fit together.

I'm doing what I can to chip in before the workshop, but I have to call on you all to help out with:

- Testing! Trying to run each notebook and making issues for any failures.

- Debugging. Making pull requests to fix bugs. Ideally, these would include an automated test that would catch related problems in the future.

You all have a better sense of what you're hoping to accomplish at IETF than I do, but I would guess that smooth installation and working notebooks is going to be key to getting people interested.

Cheers,
Seb
