| 23:14 | <Richard Gibson> | is there any reason why we shouldn't start the opt-out period early like 262? |
| 23:14 | <ryzokuken> | Richard Gibson i was thinking about it actually |
| 23:15 | <ryzokuken> | but I also realized that we have some very important editorial PRs waiting on review |
| 23:15 | <Richard Gibson> | right, but being editorial we can get approval now and merge them before the next meeting |
| 23:15 | <ryzokuken> | so I wonder if it'll actually be better to get through our backlog by the next meeting, freeze the spec and get the frozen spec approved by plenary then |
| 23:16 | <ryzokuken> | oh, is that so? |
| 23:16 | <ljharb> | you don't need approval for additional editorial items |
| 23:16 | <ryzokuken> | ah |
| 23:16 | <ljharb> | so, ask for approval for main + any outstanding normative items |
| 23:16 | <ryzokuken> | well, we have no normative items that aren't blocked on something |
| 23:16 | <ljharb> | and you have to ask for it today, or it might not be out of optout in time for GA approval |
| 23:16 | <ryzokuken> | ah okay that does it then |
| 23:16 | <ljharb> | well, we have no normative items that aren't blocked on something main and plan to cut a release within a week |
| 23:17 | <ryzokuken> | okay |
| 23:17 | <ryzokuken> | it'll be a hell of a sprint trying to get all the editorial changes reviewed but I guess that's our best shot |
| 23:18 | <ljharb> | i mean you don't have to land them all |
| 23:19 | <ljharb> | just land what you can in a week, and cut :-) |
| 23:19 | <littledan> | you can do editorial changes after the opt-out starts |
| 23:19 | <littledan> | presumably editorial changes don't have patents against them |
| 23:20 | <ryzokuken> | just land what you can in a week, and cut :-) |
| 23:20 | <littledan> | you should just have all the normative functionality done |
| 23:20 | <ryzokuken> | dunno, I guess it's kinda overthinking since the cut versions are not really... important? |
| 23:20 | <littledan> | so I'd really encourage you to present ecma-402 today for opt-out |
| 23:21 | <ryzokuken> | but I always feel like we should get any editorial improvements in |
| 23:21 | <ljharb> | you can do editorial changes after the opt-out starts |
| 23:21 | <ljharb> | it's just annoying because then you have to cut another release |
| 23:21 | <ryzokuken> | especially if people would print them out (sad) and the cleanup makes the spec shorter |
| 23:22 | <littledan> | I'm not sure if you have to actually cut the version, do you? and it'd be weird if people actually printed it out. |
| 23:22 | <ryzokuken> | anyway it's on the schedule, I'm doing it 😄 |
| 23:22 | <ryzokuken> | yeah, I hope they don't |
| 23:22 | <ryzokuken> | we just make a branch for the version cut so you can still cherrypick commits |
| 23:22 | <ryzokuken> | or just merge from main |
| 23:25 | <ljharb> | I'm not sure if you have to actually cut the version, do you? and it'd be weird if people actually printed it out. |
| 23:25 | <littledan> | OK sorry probably it's good to cut releases |
