“Project Necromancy” How we are bringing Keystone and Barbican back from the dead
summary
Describes concrete steps to revive Keystone and apply them to Barbican: reinstating weekly IRC meetings, running weekly review-a-thons over Google Meet, using UTC scheduling and calendar invites, and a path to core program. Claims measurable progress since November 2021 with 187 patches reviewed, 101 merged and 39 abandoned, plus plans for stable-branch review-a-thons, spec review sessions, outreach and virtual hackathons. Practical playbook and hard numbers, not just theory.
