Reintroduction and Questions

Reintroduction and Questions

[Matt]

Hello again!  I'm slowly settling in after moving to Germany and hoping to get back into maintenance.  As the FSF disclaimer is still being worked out with my employer, I'm hesitant to begin non-trivial code contributions.  Until then, I'm hoping to do things that don't require attribution, such as organizing tasks, issues, and updating Worg.

1. What do the FR, FP, RFC, and RFE Woof! prefixes stand for?  These are listed in https://tracker.orgmode.org/howto for the "request" type under the "Adding a report" section.  I assume FR is "Feature Request" and RFC is "Request for Comment".
2. Is anyone in the Hamburg, Deutschland area interested in meeting in person?  They say it's hard to make friends here and I'm taking applications :) I think it'd be cool to talk Emacs and work on contributions together.  Maybe we could coordinate this with an online Meetup (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2023-06/msg00196.html).

Thanks for the update!
Any help is appreciated.

FR = feature request
RFC =  request for comments
RFE = request for evidence (I think).
Be warned though that Woof! is not yet stable (see
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/woof and https://lists.sr.ht/~bzg/woof).

You may also try to ask on Emacs Berlin mailing list.

Thanks for the warning.

To verify my understanding, the mailing list is the "source of truth" for issues and Woof! "scrapes" that?

Good suggestion!

Yes, you are correct.
