Discussion

Progress a bit slow due to holidays.

PR standards:

• When to put PRs in milestones: when they block the release. PRs that are not a deliverable for any particular release will remain without milestone assigned (but can still be high priority for other reasons - e.g. important cleanup).

• smaller PRs (but not always possible)

• a couple of people felt that some review items can be postponed to followup PRs

• "Standard of care" for PRs: For new subsystem like gossips or routing improvements, okay to be less-than-perfect. For critical code paths, state machine, onchain, key management, "production quality" readiness.

• While working through a PR, author may create a followup PR with followup tasks that are not critical for keeping master solid.

@jkczyz to split 763 (node sample and block sync) into bite size chunks and hopefully parallelize.

Need to "write down more" - maybe the new wiki will encourage.

Moved meeting notes to wiki (this page).
