Hi all,
As stated in my email [1], we will be having the soft spec freeze for glance-specs on June 17th R-16 [2]. As a part of this freeze we will be evaluating the already proposed specs for their possibility of getting done in Newton based on the size/complexity/conflict-of-interest-with-priority/comprehensiveness of the proposal, author follow-up, the severity of comments, etc. We will then come up with a list of specs that are likely to make it to Newton and keep our core reviewers' focus on those. We will then ask other specs to be proposed against Ocata or later. This also means that we will not allow new specs to be proposed against Newton. This freeze does not apply to lite-specs. Some of the important factors that will go into this evaluation: * Core reviewer's bandwidth * Priorities and focus/interest of those core reviewers involved therein * Interest shown by the cores on your spec * Other dependencies involving your proposal -- for example if you are proposing adding a store driver to glance_store, is there a maintainer ready to be signed-up, if another spec or lite-spec has overlap or conflict with your, etc. * Other important factors raised by cores on the spec or during R-16 I urge all the authors/committers to pay close attention to this deadline as it will severely affect your plans to propose anything against Newton if it does not make it in this soft-freeze. If you have questions or are looking for more help, you are welcome to join us during one of our glance weekly meetings [3] or reach out to one or more of the current glance-cores [4]. Please DO NOT ask for reviews on ML or during the meetings, all that space and time is reserved for project discussions. You are welcome to use normal media of communication like irc pings, direct emails, etc. for review requests but not the public channels. As always, feel free to reach out for any questions or concerns.
