The Chrome Web Store [reports 259,000 users](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-xkit/inobiceghmpkaklcknpniboilbjmlald) of New XKit, Firefox's Addon Store reported a healthy number of users before we were taken down, and we'll soon be releasing a Safari version.\r\n\r\n[Many](https://meetings.jquery.org/) other [projects](https://nodejs.org/en/foundation/tsc/), particularly those in the Open Source world, host semi-regular group meetings to discuss the past, present, and future of the project.  You can think of it as a combination of project retrospective and planning meeting to align the core team on project goals and bring visibility to issues that affect the project and team overall.  We're about five months into the project, and I feel we're in a stable enough position that this is a good time to start organizing what I would propose to be the First New XKit Town Hall.\r\n\r\n@bvtsang and I have put together a proposed outline and list of topics.  We wanted to put this list together ahead of time so that it can be open for discussion and modification, as well as give time for participants to prepare comments and input.\r\n\r\nAt this time, we'd ask that discussion revolve around only around Town Hall talking points, as the point of the Town Hall is to have a discussion of these points and comments _addressing_ these points defeats the purpose.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n**Last Updated**: [2015-12-01](#issuecomment-161160813)\r\n\r\n## Governance\r\n\r\n### Town Hall\r\n\r\n- Overview of the discussion topics\r\n\r\n### new-xkit Organization\r\n\r\n- #719\r\n- Discuss issue management (hat-tip to @nightpool)\r\n  - Is Waffle still in use?\r\n  - What use cases do we currently have for the Waffle board?\r\n- Team member management (hat-tip to @Wolvan)\r\n  - Do we accept new Team members?\r\n  - What do people have to do to be allowed to join the core team?\r\n  - How would we handle members leaving the team?\r\n- Discuss & document infrastructure access and responsibilities\r\n  - Who has access to the blogs/XCloud/NewXKitBot/etc\r\n  - Who is ultimately responsible for the blogs/XCloud/NewXKitBot/etc (who \"owns\" a given piece)\r\n  - How well are we mitigating the [Bus Factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor)\r\n\r\n## Platforms\r\n\r\n### Chrome\r\n\r\n- General comments\r\n\r\n### Firefox \r\n\r\n- Going unlisted\r\n  - What this means to users\r\n  - What this means to developers\r\n- #216\r\n- #775\r\n\r\n### Safari\r\n\r\n- #572\r\n\r\n### Mobile\r\n\r\n- No current plans for a mobile app (Android or iOS)\r\n- Process around mobile-focused PRs\r\n  - Are they/_how_ are they being tested\r\n  - Should we expect things like UI design to be critiqued or just does-it-function-type stuff\r\n\r\n## XKit 8.0.0 (GMP)\r\n\r\n- Please see [the proposed milestone](https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/milestones/v8.0.0) (hat-tip to @0xazure)\r\n  - Suggested tweaks to the milestone are welcome\r\n\r\n## Future XKit Versions\r\n\r\n- Explore the process of defining features for future releases/milestones\r\n\r\n## New Initiatives\r\n\r\n- [The Papercut Project](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Mission) (hat-tip to @bvtsang)\r\n  - Fixing many tiny things to improve the XKit experience. Our fixes tend to be reactionary, where we try to fix whatever Tumblr breaks or adds, rather than proactive. In this process, many smaller issues may fall by the wayside; in starting this papercut project, we can start on those small fixes.\r\n  - Think of it as paying technical debt, for example:\r\n    - Updating XKit branding\r\n    - Adding documentation for existing functions\r\n  - Easy onboarding of new contributors.  Introduce people interested in contributing to the project to XKit development through fixing easy bugs\r\n  - Might bring in new contributors if we can label a ton of easy fixed issues and make it easy for people to make pull requests (with good documentation on the contribution process, see #487)\r\n  - If this initial attempt is successful, we can run it again periodically in the future. For example, if we had a good run in December with this attempt, we could go on and have every X months be a Papercut Month. In doing so, we could start a culture where we encourage contributions (even more than we do now), resulting in a friendlier project overall\r\n- Analytics (see #730 or #258 for example)\r\n\r\n## State of the Project\r\n\r\n- State of infrastructure\r\n  - XCloud\r\n  - NewXKitBot\r\n  - -extension, -support, -discussion blogs\r\n- From each participant, briefly:\r\n  - Where is New XKit succeeding?\r\n  - Where are we failing?\r\n  - How can we improve?\r\n\r\n## Open Floor\r\n\r\nAny short questions / statements not related to any of the above topics, from both the core team and any interested community members.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n### Post-Town Hall TODOs:\r\n\r\n- [ ] Publish a public summary of the state of each browser extension to the blog(s)\r\n\r\n> **NOTE**: Please do not comment on this issue with _answers_ to the above, as those will be discussed during the Town Hall.
