• How to manage the working group? Where to publish notes?
  • mdbook website
  • track where people are working
• Everyone likes the reading club
  • Especially previously history of Rust macros
• How to do triage?
  • Asynchronous 24 hour meetings on Zulip
  • Eric likes the idea. Challenge will be tracking decisions. Zulip polls might help, and a two phase process to summarize discussion and ratify decisions.
• Be notified about changes to macro system
  • Helps us learn
  • Figure out who's interested in what kind of work
  • auto-tag @wg-macros
• Want to avoid the failure where no one knows we are working on macros
• reason for triage: there are known issues already, make sure we understand them and can make a plan for the right way to resolve them
• Team introduction threads on #wg-async
  • why interested in wg-async?
  • any relevant background or expertise?
• Our meeting time - after wg-async triage, but flexible on times if break is needed
• Might need to restructure triage/reading club meetings after a few weeks

Eric's goals and strategies:

1. Earn the respect of the rest of the Rust Project
   • especially T-compiler
2. Build expertise in the Rust macro system
   • understand the current state of the macro system
3. (longer term) drive the implementation of Rust macros

More internally focused for the near term - build our own expertise before we start trying to drive things externally.
