Hi Aaron; thanks for your mail. We do have a plan, but not a date -
extraction is taking longer than originally envisioned, and there's no
point setting targets that we're not going to hit.
Regarding PRs and a feature freeze, the most important thing right now
is that instructor trainees be able to finish off their final exercise
(which involves doing a PR against our lessons). I realize it
complicates things to have them doing that against 'bc', and we are
redirecting changes to the shell lesson to Trevor King's repo (where
he's extracting shell history), but I'm afraid to say "hold on a few
weeks" because I don't want them to lose momentum.
Thanks,
Greg

Have you got a plan for the transition from bc to separate lessons?
Will this happen once history for all lessons is extracted or just as
they come? How about a set date for the change?
I'm thinking about PRs that come up between now and the transition to
the separate lesson: should these ideally be made against bc or against
the repo where the history is being extracted?
Would it be good to have a 'feature freeze' whilst everything is being
transferred?

Hi,
I've created a separate issue in GitHub for extracting the history of
each of the novice lessons with the 'Extracting History' label (or
added that label to existing issues):
https://github.com/swcarpentry/bc/labels/Extract%20History
The intermediate Make and Regular Expressions lessons (such as they
are) have already been extracted; if you're planning to dive into
anything else, or have already done so, please file an issue right
away so that people know what you're doing and we don't trip over
each other.
Thanks,
Greg
