[20:06] andypugh: Can you hear me this time?

[20:08] René: no

[20:17] Steffen Möller: Attempt of protocol emerging on https://yopad.eu/p/LinuxCNCVideoConf

[20:47] sliptonic: I need to drop out.

I'd like to help if I can but it's pretty hard to know what the goals/status are.

There seems to be some important information in the emc devel mailing list that isn't getting into github. The github info is a bit messy as well. I can't tell which of the 326 issues are important to a release and which ones are 'nice to have'.

Same thing with the PRs. It's not clear which ones are holding up a release and which ones are WIP.

If anyone wants help getting Github in shape, ping me this week and I might be able to help.
