# 2022-03-20 Weekly Meeting

###### tags: `weekly-meeting`

## This week leads

Lead: Angel
Call for Review!: aweinstock
Issues (limit 7): xmac
Minutes: Christof

## Topics:

### Reading club

Topics?:


### Code Review Session

Idea:
- Modular weapons with @Sam

### Issues

- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1473
    - Would be best in RFC format
    - Would it make more sense for core systems of the game to be enabled/disabled when doing work like this? Such as changing how gravity works for players when they're in this "creative" mode

### MRs

- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/merge_requests/3055
    - Looking for new author
    - Need to hear back from existing author
- https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/merge_requests/3150
    - New author

### RFCs

#### Cons

- It's inactive
    - Many existing RFCs have been open for years
    - There doesn't seem to be a process for moving RFCs from `open` to `accepted` (should this be part of the weekly meetings?)
- We don't discuss them in our dev meetings
    - Would be good if more of leads/core devs had reviewing them as part of their mandate
- We don't make it part of the introductory process for new contributors
    - People don't even know about it
- Not easy to see updates
- No integration with Discord (aside from #git-updates, which is relatively noisy)
- People that are excited about design and sharing ideas don't have an easy way to approach this model


#### Pros

- Allows us to track history of ideas more concretely
- Ensures there's a central repository of design documents
- Allows participation in design outside of proprietary platforms


#### Ideas

- Discord bot features
    - Thread created on new RFC
    - Comments synced between the thread and MR?
- Weekly meetings
    - How to better spend our time so that we can go over at least 1 RFC each week?
        - Expecting people to read/think about the RFC in the past hasn't worked
    - Timebox more?
        - Issues can only take 20 mins
        - MR can only take 10
        - RFC takes 15
- Some way to have a rendered form of the RFC easy to access
    - Some way to integrate into website
        - When RFCs are updated, they get rendered to the site
- Doesn't need to be as reliant on recent-only RFCs
    - Old ones still need a lot of discussion
