Organizing MIR and HAIR talks (spastorino)
- oli-obk is going to do something this month, needs time
Triaging rustc-dev-guide
- spastorino will ask @Pietro Albini about progress on triagebot.
- If triagebot will be ready soon, wait.
- Otherwise add people to the repo with read perms only. When triagebot is ready maybe switch to that.
forge/guide, where to link
- There is a planned contributing page: https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/issues/440
- If someone has time we (WG-rustc-dev-guide) should try to push that forward, otherwise, waiting for this to be done…
adding people to the rustc-dev-guide toolstate list
- spastorino volunteers to be added
