The next meeting is on a currently unspecified day, but the issue is here: #76

I think I've captured the gist of all the action items in the post there. Some of these I was able to do immediately, we already "have a repo" for the prototypes, people just need to make PRs and fill it up.

Answer 7 · 2019-12-11T19:54:57.000Z

Are you referring to the wg repo?

Answer 8 · 2019-12-11T19:58:20.000Z

Ah no! sorry I didn't post the link here as well (it's in the next meeting topic):

I opened this up
https://github.com/rust-gamedev/thread-pool-api-prototypes
So people can PR in prototypes and such.
