Created an initial list of work items #31

Description

This is the list I managed to digest from the issues in our repository. But to be really honest, I feel like it is a bit messy somehow... Like it's a list of random things belonging to a certain area or something.

Maybe expressing the our goals as questions and sub-questions would make things more clear?

DevQps commented 5 years ago

Forgive me for the random mix of capitals. I will fix that once we reach consensus.

The 2019 goals label tracks the present year's goals. Perhaps that should be linked from the README, but otherwise I think it accomplishes what you're describing here, and is a bit more dynamic than itemizing them in the README.

@tarcieri I think you are right. Right now it feels a bit off somehow. I can change it to a link to the issue tracker.

I do however think it would be a good idea to list the questions that we aim to solve in our workgroup. Our mission statement contains a few hints but it doesn't provide the concrete problems that we current face in Rust. The 2019 goals aim to solve those more concrete problems, but for newcomers I can imagine that it is not immediatly clear which goals we're trying to solve with our work items.

What do you think about this?

@Shnatsel @tarcieri What do you think about this?

Shnatsel commented 5 years ago

I think this is a good way to improve visibility of the work items. Well, the WG repo itself doesn't have much visibility right now either, but that's a different problem. I'm inclined to merge this as-is and then iterate on it later. @tarcieri thoughts?
