@mhdawson could you convert this to a checklist for better visibility of the status?

[aruneshchandra]

Updated the roadmap for better progress visibility and current status.

[MylesBorins]

Are we on target for this to land in 8 as mentioned in milestone 5?

edit: can we expand on what "experimental" means in the roadmap

[aruneshchandra]

@thealphanerd - IIRC from VM Summit 2, experimental means this will be available behind a config flag for version 8 and previous 1 or 2 LTSes.

As per being on target - its unclear at the moment, how much can be achieved by the time we cut a build for version 8. But Milestone 5 is what we are shooting for with the number of people who are working on it today. By VM Summit 3 (March 2017) we will have a better idea.

Sorry for commenting on a probably inappropriate issue, but the Hangout link in the README seems dead. Are you still doing meetings? I'm trying to implement N-API on a somewhat unusual target and got quite a few questions/suggestions that would love to discuss. cc @nodejs/n-api

[aruneshchandra]

@RReverser - the link is not dead. The meetings are on Thursdays 10.30 Pacific / 1:30 Eastern US time. We would love to hear about your project and your feedback. Please join us this Thursday on June 8th.

Well it returns 404 to me :/

Thanks!

How about this URL ?
https://plus.google.com/events/c0eevtrlajniu7h8cjrdk0f56c8?authkey=COH04YCalJS8Ug

[RReverser]

Same. Perhaps one needs to be invited to be able to access it?

[RReverser]

Ha, it opens when I open in incognito mode. So certainly something to do with permissions. Let me try from another Google account.

[aruneshchandra]

I don't think this is an invite only link - coz we had someone join without invitation last week. @sampsongao - can you please check ?

[RReverser]

Apparently, it has something to do with Google Apps (I have Google account on custom domain) + Google Plus Events links. https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/5b11gw/google_events_gone_for_good/

Direct hangout link should work. Could someone please send me an invite for hangout itself to me@rreverser.com? Thanks!

[mhdawson]

@sampsongao can you send @RReverser a direct invitation.
