<ul>
<li>Agreed scoring matrix columns and multipliers</li>
<li>Discussed whether the task list was complete based on the plan issue</li>
<li>How do we address the tension between reliable repeatable deployments vs the flexibility needed for distribution update / feature sharing / different configuration in different environments ->
<ul>
<li>Only edit config on export / import</li>
<li>Is there such a thing as safe config?</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Open discussion
<ul>
<li>We touched topic related to protecting configuration from editing in different environments (fe. blocking of configuration change on production) and should that be part of CMI. Where we came to conclusion that such functionality should stay part of contrib (like config_readonly module), but that core could provide some API for achieving such goal easier</li>
<li>We came to conclusion that additional topics should be added to problem matrix and adjusted it accordingly. Two new entries added:
<ul>
<li>Documentation</li>
<li>Different config in different environments</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Preparation for next meeting
<ul>
<li>Go over issue queue and find existing issue related to topics listed in Problem Matrix, so that we have list of defined tasks related to major topics</li>
<li>Write additional missing issues related to topics listed in Problem Matrix</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
