    • RTC repo
    • gitter
    • Team compass
  • proposal for standardizing versioning process
    • JupyterLab Development Cycle RFC #54 (comment)
    • Questions:
      • Can/should we allow bumping versions of different sub packages
      • things shouldn't be in lockstep? This would make things easier for extensions, because jlab forces singletons of these packages.
        • rendermime
        • coreutils
      • As we go, the hope is that we become more stable as we go so we have less breaking changes.
