[Bigbang-dev] BigBang 1.0 Architecture

[Nick Doty]

Thanks Seb for all your recent BigBang work and for this overview/plan for
the next meeting. I can confirm that I plan to attend, Friday, December
17th at 9am US Eastern.

Is the goal to get consensus on a refactoring of the core libraries? Or
just on the documentation/contributor guidelines about how new
code/functionality should be added?

Cheers,
Nick
