Purpose

Our purpose is to complete the following primary goals:

Day 1 (Monday)

• Go over the current lifecycle for "artifacts" and brainstorm where we can improve the developer and/or admin workflow:

  • Commits / Building
  • Updates filing
  • CI/User feedback (waving results needs to be better)
  • Orphaning (orphaned.package file/listener?)
  • Retiring
• Make such changes as we can do today, file bugs/get started on any others and note them.
• Once any changes are made or planned on above:
  • Decide if we want to update wiki docs or move to some better place?
  • Identify wiki docs that need updating based on popularity.
  • Check db dump for strings that need indicate pages need update
  • Possibly decide to delete some pages
  • Note where things will change
• Document what things we updated and changed and send to devel announce that docs/workflows are hopefully better.
