We will delay doing any serious investment in documentation, audits or specifications in this release, in order to prioritize learning how to do timely and well planned releases, before investing in these longer term assets.
We will continue to not do any serious work in the UX, in particular in the Pioneer application, in order to move faster using the Polkadot UI framework. We can afford small tweaks here and there based on user input, but a fundamental reworking is delayed until at least after Athens.
Jens may not be able to reliably participate, and its not clear when new TT dev will be found and onboarded.
Bedeho will try to contribute on Runtime work, but he also has to get familiar with Rust & Substrate, as well as other unreliable priorities.
No.
On-chain upgrade of runtime, no migration.
