We should build on this to add content to the shared Docs, +API reference site and other projects. + +Next cycle we need to focus on 3 items: + +1. Docs. Docs. Docs. + + We have gotten better at writing docs, and the addition of reno has help our + release notes a lot, but there is always room for improvement. We need to ensure + that we also remove old docs at the same time as writing new ones. + +2. Worker Model. + + Migration to the worker model improves a lot of our scaling story. It allows use to + remove the extra code that went into MiniDNS and remove RPC from MiniDNS entirely. + This in turn makes MiniDNS much more reimplementable in a language that is more + suited to parsing and building DNS packets. + +3. Horizon Updates (Read: replacement) + + Our horizon panels are ... dated, use the deprecated API, and lack most of the new + features that we have added to designate. Part of our time in newton needs to be + getting these panels updated, and availible to the community. + +I see myself as a good person to lead these 3 priorities, and appriciate your +support for PTL. + +Thanks, + +Graham Hayes
