Next steps:

Working on the timeline.

Larger items:

  1. Describing a git workflow for testing proposed patches (Describe GitHub workflow: create a patch from pull request to r-devel/r-svn r-devel/rdevguide#23).

    • Some initial notes here: https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn
    • Write new section in separate markdown file on alternative GitHub workflow for Bug BBQ. Clarify the two aspects: testing changes to the code and then creating a patch to contribute via Bugzilla. [in time for June 24]
    • Create new chapter on how to create a patch. Describe SVN workflow briefly (as now) and then add new section.
    • Update Lifecycle of a patch chapter to link out to new chapter [in time mid-phase meeting]
  2. Adding novice-friendly instructions on installing R from source (add instructions on installing R-devel from source r-devel/rdevguide#33)- as a companion to the official documentation. [aim for end of Phase 1]
