    • Nicole: working on functionality research epic plan

      • would be useful if Sumana knows any particular issues on tracker that should be looked into under that epic! please flag. Nicole has gone through issue tracker & looked up ones marked UX, but other things …. there are many many tickets! Ask the other pip developers of relevant stuff to look at

        • TODO - Sumana - once Nicole has a draft, ask pip-committers to take a look, what else should go in this research epic

        • Suggestion: Nicole: look at 20 oldest open packaging-problems repo issues

    • Bernard: putting together research plan for pip-& package-manager-ecosys research, and putting together a survey for pip users and disabilities (nearly finished, will want review/feedback). Also been doing outreach to specific communities that use Python & pip but are not programming/dev focused. So, like, artists, educators, people using Python in electronics design, etc.
