Daniel didn't have + the energy to write scenarios to test his code changes. Lars didn't + have time or energy to implement parameterised scenarios. It's not a + big deal, but we clearly were too ambitious when allocating things + for the iteration ending. We will try to do better. + +# Discussion + +* There were three outstanding **merge requests**, marked + work-in-progress. They are carried over to the iteration starting. + +* We reviewed all **open issues**, and closed one of them, and assigned a + small number to the iteration starting. + +* We discussed again the **need for more contributors**. We feel we + need a **typesetting** person, and a **Bash** script person. + However, we're not ready to actively recruit people we don't know, + and we don't want to try to recruit people we do know more + forcefully than we already have. + +* We discussed the **minimum supported Rust version for Subplot**. We feel + there's three candidates that make sense: the version in Debian 10 + (buster) and its backports; the version in the upcoming Debian 11 + (bullseye); and the current Rust stable release. Those are the + important versions for us. It doesn't really make sense to support + versions of Rust older than the current stable version that isn't in + Debian. + + At the same time, we don't want to force a very old version of Rust + on the Subplot project, as it will require putting in workarounds + that are technical debt. We already had this with `as_ref` but chose + the workaround for now. + + For now, we'll support the **Debian 10 version of Rust**. We may + change this later, and add make the automated test suite pick a + version we want to check with. For now, we don't want to do that + work. + +* We probably want to make Subplot installable via Cargo and start + **making releases**. Some day. + +* We discussed starting another side project, jt, and will be + sketching a subplot for it. + +# Actions + +* Lars to write these notes. -- cgit v1.2.1
