How's the Engineering Working Group revamp looking?

Paul Norman (EWG, OWG) has gathered some people who want to draft a scope for a restarted Engineering Working Group and propose it to the board. The first meeting was on 2021-04-02 and an email summary was sent afterwards to the board (see below),

Participants of first meeting: Rob Savoye, Roland Olbricht, Tobias Knerr, Adam Hoyle and Paul Norman.

  • Administrative matters.
  • Introductions.
  • Discussion on defining the scope they intend to propose to the board.
    • Proposal: putting out calls for paid development, responding to submissions, managing accepted proposals, and Google Summer of Code.

The team would explicitly like to put maintenance to improve developer experience (tech debt), developer documentation, and other work that does not result in new features. They have work to do around defining classes of software (core, non-core, or other terms) and what they want to focus on and will be working on this, then discussing it at a meeting next week.
