4. Possible Topics

Important things we want to discuss: (add your own)

4.1. Automatic Source Code Formatting

4.2. Python 3

4.3. Rust aka Oxidation

4.4. Hosting

4.5. hg-git

4.6. Documentation

4.7. PR

4.8. Graduating experimental features

A good number of things which goes into releases is marked as experimental and they get into the experimental trap. It's unclear what each feature needs to be get out of experimental. We have also lost track on what all are the things under experimental tag.

4.9. Security

We should move to something other than SHA1 some day. We could discuss how to have a generic upgrade path for when the next algorithm we choose is inevitably itself broken.
