Discussion about the current state of the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Developer’s Reference, and related documents. Expected topics of discussion include:

  • where volunteer time is most needed
  • Q&A about the process by which Policy and dev-ref are modified
  • difficult bugs that are stuck and how we might unstick them
  • recruiting volunteers to translate Policy and dev-ref.

We might also discuss other pieces of Debian internal documentation, interconnections between these different documents, etc.
