Agenda Items

Jane to start doing some pre-meeting triage of the action items list
Got the recurring book meeting setup
Stage the API guidelines changes and have them go live after Jane's blog post is done
Charles making progress on the Error Book diagram
Jakub making progress on the termination trait issue
Sean made no progress on adding panic_error to std/core
- Jane to take this one since it's closely related to the blog post she's working on
- Jane will be taking on all action items that involve creating issues

Jane is approximately 75% done with the blog post
- Updated plan is now:
  - 1. move error trait to core
  - 1. add panic_error function like panic_any
  - 1. specialize unwrap and expect to use panic_error
  - 1. add a reporting mechanism to either the error trait or to the fmt grammar for printing errors as a report including source error messages
  - 1. Introduce a Box<dyn Error> equivalent that implement's Error and not From<E: Error>
  - 1. Add an alternative Result type that uses FromResidual to convert error types during ?
  - 1. Add lints to discourage usage of Box<dyn Error>
Charles is working on the Error Book diagram
Jakub is working on the termination trait issue
Sean is working on writing the content around the minigrep project example for the Error Book

Currently sitting on rust-lang/rfcs#3084; waiting for more feedback from the Rust community before we decide how to move forward with it
