Ursula already did that, so it's all good.

My main concern is that if we are going to manage this work, it'd be
better if we fully understand it and (consciously) agree with it.  Or,
we might do a bad job directing it.

I think that's a bit of a problem.  Whatever solution we choose, we'll
have issues.  If we use a shared kanban board for QA engineers, some
teams (Foundations and Translations) will have to use two kanban boards
for stand-ups. If we do it across two boards, it won't be easy to tell
how one particular feature is going.

If we split the work up nicely, it's probably not a big deal if we keep
doing it as we are right now (Diogo and Ursula each have their own lanes
on Foundations and Translations boards respectively).  Anyway, I
strongly suggest we don't make the big deal out of it or we are going to
find all solutions lacking.

Cheers,
Danilo
