RE: New datatracker release: v6.116.0

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

Hi WG Chairs,

 

Please note that IESG would like to provide some guidance on when it is
suitable to exclude the dates. 

 

One reasons for this need is that RFC 2418 do have requirements on charter
and milestones:

 

   Goals and milestones

      The working group charter MUST establish a timetable for specific

      work items.  While this may be renegotiated over time, the list of

      milestones and dates facilitates the Area Director's tracking of

      working group progress and status, and it is indispensable to

      potential participants identifying the critical moments for input.

      Milestones shall consist of deliverables that can be qualified as

      showing specific achievement; e.g., "Internet-Draft finished" is

      fine, but "discuss via email" is not. It is helpful to specify

      milestones for every 3-6 months, so that progress can be gauged

      easily.  This milestone list is expected to be updated

      periodically (see section 5).

 

So please await guidance. IESG will discuss this in our informal telechat
today. 

 

Cheers

 

Magnus Westerlund

Chairs and ADs:

This release brings the ability to configure a working group to manage its
milestones as an ordered list without dates.

If you want to switch your group(s) over, see the "Edit milestones" page for
the group.

If you try it and don't like it, you can switch back to using dates at any
time.

Let me know if you run into problems or have any questions.

Improve can_ballot. Fixes #2856.

* Limited the permitted versions of mypy and related django-slugs, to avoid
issues related to using Django-1.11. We should update to latest versions
when we've moved to Django 2.2.x

* Changed ReviewerSettings history change-reason field to be a TextField, in
order to accomodate longer change descriptions.

* Merged in [17173] from [e-mail] <mailto:[e-mail]>

non-approve ballot types. Partially addresses #2851.
