Thanks for the feedback! This is something I care a lot about. Are you saying that you'd like to see something between https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap, which gives what people are working on for the rest of the quarter, and the "next week" section of the status reporting? Or are you saying that part of the problem is that we're not really capturing the "next week" details well enough so that, e.g., you know that Vlad's going to be looking into ipc-channel Windows support and might need your feedback? - Lars BTW, I am full-time and I can't keep up with the IRC channel either. And I (we) shouldn't! If IRC becomes a substitute for GitHub issues and the mailing list, then it will crowd out both volunteers and contributors who are not in the "right" timezone. I try to make sure that people don't make *decisions* on IRC, as that's a pretty nasty community anti-pattern, but I'm sure I've done it myself and should definitely be called out when I do that. _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
