The 2025h2 goal period is now over, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks to everyone who contributed! A related goal, #651, is part of the new 2026 goal period. Authors are welcome to leave a final comment about the goal's outcome.
Trying to prepare FLS releases earlier:
- since we completed the 1.94.0 release of the FLS a bit early this time, we checked into the stretch part of our goal this year to look at 1.95.0 early
- we learned a bit more of the release notes process thanks to tips from Eric Huss and TC
- Tshepang Mbambo and I attended the t-release meeting last week where we chatted about working a little "upstream" with them on generating the release notes a bit earlier
- tomorrow in our t-fls meeting we'll discuss our interest with engaging over there; at a minimum I'll get engaged with t-release
Glossary and main-body text harmonization:
- the first PR landed from Tshepang Mbambo removing IDs from the glossary
- further steps planned, we have a tracking issue for it
Developer guide:
- akin to how the Reference now has a developer's guide now for contributing we'll do the same in the FLS
- Hristian Kirtchev has been working on this
cc Hristian Kirtchev, Tshepang Mbambo, TC , Alex Eris Celeste née Gilding for any updates I missed to share them
Key developments: We have a Project Goal in 2026 that we'll take on: Stabilize FLS Release Cadence. Progress towards 1.93.1 looks good, most issues are closed. Blockers: None currently Help wanted: We'd love more folks from the safety-critical community to contribute to picking up issues or opening an issue if you notice something is missing.
