RE: [sv-ec] top 25 (plus 10) list with time estimates from today's meeting

For those not in the meeting, the number hours refers to the number of
meeting hours independent of e-mail discussions or special additional
meetings to cover an issue. I was also worried that this was going to
give the impression that item 4 was more effort than item 2. 12 hours
for Item 2 was the amount of time to come up with a schedule for that
item.
