Rusty really impressed on me on the importance of holding conversations, as much as possible in public. Practically speaking, this encompasses IRC, this mailing list, and github issues/PRs. The reason for this is twofold. It helps document the range of options considered for technical decisions and it provides an interface point for new participants to contribute to the discussion. Given some recent mails that were posted to this list, now seems like a good time to reiterate the importance and preference of public communication whenever possible, especially for specification or technical discussions. ~ nifty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
