That seems a bit too narrowly focused on specification development; the
type of additional work we could propose would include to help e.g.
gather early developers feedback, prototype some of the use cases on top
of NavCon, do a dev rel campaign around the feature to expose it as
broadly as possible, etc.

We could also invest resources in setting up early test suites (to help
implementations convergence early on); and I'm sure there are more ideas
in this space — the point of drafting an action plan would be to list
these ideas and get feedback from the relevant players on their
usefulness/importance :)

Figuring what can be done to help raise the pace of work is exactly what
needs to be done now; some random set of ideas: organizing developers
meet up, developing prototypes, involving designers, organizing a
workshop, etc.

Thanks for re-starting that discussion!

Surely there are more stuff you wish you could get access to via
console.log (e.g. memory usage)? But you're probably right, if you don't
feel very strongly about that need, you probably should jump onto
another one :)
