  • how to upgrade contracts – dig into list of links used as source material enough to distinguish "migration method" approach and "use enums" approach in my own mind. Finalize "migration method" docs. Discuss how to write "use enums" section with Mike; decide that keeping it and the whole "Upgrading via DAO vote" sections as short stubs is good enough for now.

Over the weekend, we got near-sdk-sim README & related bug fixes merged near/near-sdk-rs#327

Today my main focus was clearing my somewhat-neglected work email inbox. This led to scattered work:

Review:

Other things:

  • Update near-examples/FT#93 with latest code from near-sdk-rs; bump team for review; DM some other people to ask for review who I know have strongly held views on AssemblyScript to see if they agree it makes sense for now to stop advertising AS in this example
  • Compile poll results from my ETH Denver talk for NEAR Wallet design discussion about bridged token names (near/near-wallet#1512 (comment))
  • Let commentor on outdated NFT NEP know about the new discussion (near/NEPs#4 (comment))
  • Fill out Harrison communication style assessment
  • Read through NFT standard discussion and start forming thoughts; leave some feedback

Meetings:

  • Berry Pickers team sync
  • Team check-in with Oysterpack
