  • Collaborative editing will come in later phases
    • Next preview release and future release timeline in-process

Documentation Updates

  • Discussed more of the future of the SDK Docs. I proposed a new framework for 0.4 and the status of the high level APIs for 0.4.
  • Talked about publishing community guidelines for documentation submissions (that will mirror code submissions) and the best way to get that information to the community (via a well crafted wiki page).
  • Short meeting; been sort of behind due to some mercurial shenanigans from last week.

Followups

  • myk to talk to Benjamin re: page worker API
  • myk to publish FlightDeck development plan on wiki
