Triage! An initial round of internal triage happened to clean up the backlog, and regular triage meetings are now held on the #sig-docs-community voice channel at 9:30-10:00AM PT every Wednesday.
Roadmap! We're still building a public roadmap based on our internal ticketing system so that everyone knows what is coming in the next release.

Raised issues:
