📝 Ideas, feel free to add to list or claim!

• Combine RFCs: I think we can cover 1 or 2 RFCs that may affect many developers (like 575), and can either skip the rest or create a list of RFC names in case people are interested in participating.

  • New RFC: Deprecation Shaking - Deprecation Shaking emberjs/rfcs#565
  • New RFC: URL Manager URL Manager emberjs/rfcs#570
  • New RFC: Promise-based Initializers Promise based initializers emberjs/rfcs#572
  • New RFC: App Boot Hooks emberjs/rfcs#573
  • New RFC: Controller Injection Deprecation emberjs/rfcs#574
  • New RFC: Test Directories emberjs/rfcs#575
  • New RFC: Move HTTP Mock to addon emberjs/rfcs#576
  • New RFC: Ember CLI build pipeline emberjs/rfcs#578
  • New RFC: Add fastboot to the default package.json emberjs/rfcs#579
  • New RFC: Destroyables emberjs/rfcs#580

• New RFC: Registry APIs: deprecate micro-syntax; introduce replacement API emberjs/rfcs#585 (🔒 @chrisrng )

• Community Feedback from FlashRecruit (🔒 @EndangeredMassa)

• Ember-SortableJS v2 beta release https://twitter.com/luis_vegerano/status/1217940891626889221

  • Isaac - From what I could tell, I think the beta update primarily concerned Octanify-ing the addon. Maybe we can use this as a showcase to encourage addon developers to update their code? https://github.com/SortableJS/ember-sortablejs/pull/13/files

• A collection of short blog posts from Ilya Radchenko and Michal Bryxí. It may be nice to write one post for the entire collection. (🔒 @ijlee2 )

• Start of Chris Garrett's Thinking with Autotracking series

  • https://www.pzuraq.com/thinking-with-autotracking-what-is-reactivity/

• from @runspired in #support-ember-times Add polyfill that allows apps and addons to use @ember-data related packages regardless of ember-data version emberjs/ember-cli-babel#318 probably worth a call out. with this we have:

• EmberConf ad with speaker @MinThaMie (🔏 @jessica-jordan)

• polyfill for older EmberData users for packages

• codemod for packages

• lint rules for using package imports

I believe also @chriskrycho may have gotten @types/ember-data working with package import locations in which case we're fairly polished off on this feature now (update: PR may land Friday)
