Rust Project Goals

Meeting notes here: 2025-11-14 - t-fls Meeting

Key developments: PR merged for 1.90 update of the FLS. We're preparing now to work on the 1.91 update of the FLS. Blockers: None currently Help wanted: Anyone that's familiar with the Rust Reference is more than encouraged to read through the FLS to get a sense of it and where further alignment may be possible. Feel free to open issues on the FLS repo as you find things.

Meeting minutes from meeting held on 2025-10-31 (thank you to Tomas Sedovic 🥰)

Top-level:

• Keep high quality bar, merge small, well-vetted changes when possible
• Need concentrated effort to get the 1.90 FLS updates merged
  • Hristian Kirtchev and Tshepang Mbambo are navigating this currently with TC
• Once 1.90 merged, we attempt first go as a team at 1.91

Discussion:

• Suggest that everyone read the Glossary as a starting point
• How to best triage / handle incoming issues?
  • TC and Pete LeVasseur moved labels onto FLS repo that were needed
  • Pete LeVasseur created issue template, that's in review, to help focus triage

PR with charters:

https://github.com/rust-lang/team/pull/2028

After much discussion, we have decided to charter this team as a t-spec subteam. Pete LeVasseur and I are working to make that happen now.

We're putting together a prototype/demo of our reference changes at https://rust-lang.github.io/project-goal-reference-expansion/ . This includes a demonstration of tooling changes to provide stability markers (both "documenting unstable Rust" and "unstable documentation of stable Rust").

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 .
