Overview
We have transferred one idea and are inflight with 8 projects and in the process of possibly starting up another 2-3. While this presents a huge wave in terms of number of concurrent projects, we are dog-fooding the shorter cadence and smaller (more focused) teams.
We are reducing the features / scope of each project deliverable and releasing quicker to the community. This allows us to react to feedback sooner and iteratively work ourselves to a solution that meets the community requirements in a world where change is inevitable and continuous.
In terms of votes we have the following picture:
