Hello nova contributors and other stakeholders.
As you are aware, nova maintainers will be sparser than usual at the ussuri PTG. For that reason, and also because it promotes better inclusion anyway, I'd like us to do the majority of decision making via the mailing list. The PTG is still a useful place to talk through design ideas, but this will give those not attending a voice in the final direction.
To that end, I call your attention to the etherpad [1]. As usual, list your topics there. And if your topic is something for which you only need (or wish to start with) in-person discussions (e.g. "I'd like to do $thing but could use some help figuring out $how"), you're done.
But if what you're shooting for is discussion leading to some kind of decision, like...
- My spec has been stalled because we can't decide among N different
approaches; we need to reach a consensus.
- My feature is really important; can we please prioritize it for ussuri?
...then in addition to putting your topic on the etherpad, please initiate a (separate) thread on this mailing list, including [nova][ptg] in your subject line.
Thanks for doing this, Eric!
Could I also ask that we link ML threads in the etherpad as well just to keep everything tied together?
Thanks,
Matt
