The work on this goal has led to many ongoing discussions on the current status of the Reference. Those discussions are still in progress.

Meanwhile, many people working on this goal have successfully written outlines or draft chapters, at various stages of completeness. There's a broken-out status report at https://github.com/rust-lang/project-goal-reference-expansion/issues/11 .
