Work Updates
- Change Log
- Only include PRs that have useful changes rather than a line for each PR
- Either
- Add a CHANGELOG section to each PR
- Use a wiki page.
- Can we keep the changelog in the wiki and not keep it in the codebase?
- Why not have updating the change log as part of the PR?
- There will always be merge conflicts
- Whatever change happens will require an adjustment of habits.
- Proposal: Make an actual change to the PR as part of the log
- Standalone commit
- Or as part of the changes
- We will try this for the next release or so.
- Someone will need to review and ensure this is being practiced.
- Add to contributor guidelines
- Custom RPC endpoints plugin service
Other Business
