5. Possible Topics

Important things we want to discuss: (add your own)

5.1. Topic 1

• sub topic 1.a

• sub topic 1.b

5.2. hg undo

5.3. Stable API/ Maintaining extensions like hg-git

After every major release, hg-git gets broken and there are user complains about that. We are loosing users because of that fact which is not good. Either we should establish a stable API or we should think about what we can do to make sure hg-git works until we come up with better solution like hgit. Some ideas:

• We have couple of weeks code freeze, we make sure that all out of tree extensions work with new version of mercurial
• Add a buildbot to test out of tree extensions with default/stable branch

5.4. Getting a Code of Conduct in place

Seeing recent news about Linux development, I checked whether we have a code of conduct or not and I was unable to find one. CoC is very important and having one in place can increase the confidence of new or potential contributors in the community.
