Joel, I for one would really appreciate if you could provide some of your insight on some of the current 4.0 PLIPs. You have incomparable breadth of knowledge and insight regarding what aspects of Plone are heavily, popular or even despised (particularly among people who are not necessarily active in the community). I also know you probably have a little free time this weekend :-)
https://dev.plone.org/plone/roadmap Would it be a good idea to send a mail to the lists to determine if there are a significant number of people who would have submitted PLIPs given a slightly longer timeline? We could then take that knowledge into account during our next meeting. We don't want to disenfranchise anyone, but concerns about the timeline don't really matter unless they are coming from people who would be involved in the process. We had discussed having an additional week after the deadline for providing feedback to help improve any subpar PLIPs. This was deemed unnecessary, partly because it was agreed that FT members would be giving feedback on PLIPs as they came in, as well as during the review period. We may want to reconsider that option, especially if we get problematic feedback.
