Code Review Group: Major Thrusts/Initiatives

This page is intended as a collection point to list the major thrusts and related initiatives underway within the Code Review Group.

My long-term vision for this section is a place to provide an 'at-a-glance' view of ongoing group activities, initiatives, and proposals under active discussion; as well as to provide a historical archive of major group initiatives and accomplishments. Please note that, as this is intended more as an 'index' of ongoing/archived discussions (and in the interest of avoiding too much 'clutter'), any comments related to the specific proposals listed here should be posted in the dedicated discussion thread for the specific proposal.

Note: If you've got a proposal or initiative that you'd like others in the group to provide feedback on, post a short title and link to the related discussion thread under the appropriate category below. I've added one as an example for now, but will go through and add the other current discussions to this page when I've got a bit more time. List syntax and statuses subject to change.

On second thought, this whole page could be deprecated, if we were instead to leverage a dedicated "Code Review Process" issue queue.
