[QE-developers] Notes for developers' meeting (was Re: Developers' meeting?)

[Ye Luo]

Echo Ari. It will be great if the meeting can be streamed. Otherwise,
having all the slides uploaded is also very useful.
The list give by Paolo is not short but we can probably divide and conquer
it.
By forming Working groups and having meeting monthly or by weekly, we can
get things nailed in 2019.
Best, Ye
