Should a plaintext version of jQuery be appended as part of FuncUnit. Pros Makes FuncUnit more portable Potentially easier to use End-users don’t need to keep track of which version of FuncUnit works with which jQuery Cons Bloats the code Deceptive, and counters the doc Questionable as to which version of jQuery is being used, if users specify a different version. ---

**Attendees:** @chasen @daffl @justinbmeyer @leoj3n @phillipskevin **Discussed topics:** Delaying the [Templating RFP](https://github.com/canjs/canjs/issues/2995): - Summary: team is still working on DoneJS 1.0, so we’re removing the due date for RFP submissions until we have a better idea when we’ll discuss this topic - The goal of the RFP is to collect ideas to foster our discussion, so although we almost certainly won’t pick one RFP and go with it, it’s important for us to collect the community’s thoughts - …so please submit your ideas, even if they’re not fully-formed! [Contribution guide template](https://github.com/donejs/developer-relations/issues/16#issuecomment-284176236): - Question: how are we keeping changelogs in our projects? - Answer: trying to consistently use [GitHub’s Releases feature](https://help.github.com/articles/about-releases/) - Idea: add CHANGELOG to root of each repo to point to the Releases tab - Idea: make [CONTRIBUTING.md](http://CONTRIBUTING.md) smaller by splitting off some info into [HACKING.md](http://HACKING.md) - Justification for [current donejs-firebase CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/donejs/donejs-firebase/blob/ad28edf58db6c6783d4815e6ac020be78d54ea29/CONTRIBUTING.md): want to make it easy to find the info - Compromise: only include the top-level sections from the [DoneJS contribution guide](https://donejs.com/contributing.html) - Follow-up from after the meeting: [PR for updating the donejs-firebase CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/donejs/donejs-firebase/pull/18) [Remove plug for Apple](https://github.com/donejs/donejs/pull/847): - Some non-Apple fans might not like our comparison to them - Decision: replace the “plug” with a better metaphor Rename can-operate to can-reflect: - [can-operate](https://github.com/canjs/can-operate) - [Reflect API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Reflect) seems similar to `can-operate`’s purpose - Justin will continue evaluating whether they’re similar Should a plaintext version of jQuery be appended as part of FuncUnit? - Discussion deferred to next week’s meeting
