egamma commented

This plan captures our work in October. This is a 5 week iteration. We will ship early November. We're done with our work regarding supporting multi-root-folder workspaces (see #396) in the core. During this iteration we will assist extension authors to enable multi-root-folder support in their extensions. We will provide support using documentation, samples, issues, Pull Requests, and a special slack channel.

Endgame

  • October 30th: Code freeze for the endgame
  • November 3rd: Endgame done
    The endgame details for this iteration are tracked in #37117.
