Although most of our collaboration takes place on Github, IRC (#emberjs on freenode.net), and our Discourse site the Ember.js Core Team meets privately every Friday at 2pm EST/11am PST through Google Hangout for a weekly discussion of all things Ember.

If you have a topic you'd like to see covered, contact your favorite core team member and let them know!

Path to Core

Members of the community who have a sustained and significant contribution to Ember.js are invited to join the core team and help us guide the framework's future direction. Members we'd like to add are put on the "path to core" and given greater autonomy for a trial period before being officially invited.

Contributors on path to core are given commit access to the Ember.js repositories and attend our weekly core team meetings and periodic face to face meetings.

Today we're happy to announce that two Ember.js contributors are on the path to core: Matthew Beale (who most of you will know as @mixonic) and Martin Muñoz (@_mmun). Matthew and Martin have both been pushing hard on htmlbars, the underlying library that will power Ember.js's rewritten view layer.

Features Pending Go/No-Go

• ember-metal-is-present

  Resolution: this is excellent addon material. Revert.

• event-dispatcher-can-disable-event-manager

  Resolution: event dispatcher is being deprecated, but we'll have hooks for libraries like (Hammer.js)[http://hammerjs.github.io/] to integrate with. Revert.

• [ember-routing-linkto-target-attribute]

  Resolution: This is a Go.

Issues for Discussion

• Fix {{#with view.foo as bar}} #5115

  This is a bug. Merged.

• Fix usage of document.body.contains

  This is not required in metal-views, so the problem should go away. The suggested polyfill with feature flag for 1.7 OK until that time.

• Force remove required attribute for IE8

  Scumbag IE. This is merged

• Actions should be looked up via Ember.get

  :-1: as is, need to re-work and add a 're-bubble' phase that checks actionMissing good idea, but seems like it may require a lot of work.
