### Notes

#### **Issue**: [#477 Multi-app Monorepo Followup](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/477) - @mysterycommand
- @mysterycommand
  - wondering if we need an owner for the action items
  - looks like there's a bug in the `npm-packlist` implementation as the "hacky" workaround doesn't work
- @isaacs
  - looks like we're not properly defining the type of dep
- **Action:**
  - @mysterycommand to write initial draft of RFC for running workspace's `prepare` scripts during pack (/cc @mikemimik)
  - @ljharb to write initial draft of workspace layout RFC (/cc @mikemimik)

### Other Topics

#### Installing a workspace into another workspace
- @mikemimic
  - worked w/ @darcyclarke on something like `npm install ./bar -w foo`
  - would like this to be better supported in the future (ie. intelligent design)
  - looks like an error in `arborist` where link.target` can be `null`
