Status: Draft. This page is a work in progress, started following the June 2026 meeting.
This is the Editorial Board’s list of significant documentation projects we have identified as valuable and actionable. It reflects our proactive stance: rather than only reacting to requests, we identify important work and find people to carry it out.
How this list works
- Every active project has a committed lead. If a project loses its lead, it becomes Blocked until a new lead steps up.
- Each project names its challenges, not just the goal. Describing the hard parts up front helps contributors know what they are taking on.
- We keep the list short and prioritized rather than long and aspirational, so we can give each project real oversight.
