We are specifically looking to discuss ideas around the following areas:
* Easing barriers to contribution (e.g., making JavaFX easier to build,
better documentation, making it easier to test changes)
I'd suggest explicitly asking for feedback from the maintainers of
downstream builds, such as
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/java-openjfx/
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openjfx
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/openjfx/
https://www.freshports.org/java/openjfx8-devel
In the case of the JDK, downstream builders of OpenJDK tend to provide
very useful first hand feedback of barriers to building & contribution,
and often end up becoming regular contributors themselves, due to the
hard, fundamental nature of (build) problems one needs to resolve to be
able to provide a working build for one's own operating system.
