Process

We are trying to follow a “sprint-like” structure where on each “sprint” cycle we start with a planning and then work towards the goals defined on that plan. Our current plan is to work for 2 months on a couple of goals, with a few meetings to sync up during that period. We are working towards filling out missing parts of the rustc-dev-guide and building some chapters that help gain an overall understanding of what the compiler does to code to produce its output.
