  https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/220#issuecomment-320049755
  (abadger1999, 19:06:23)
  * https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/27335  (jtanner, 19:10:40)
  * jimi|ansible, nitzmahone, alikins, abadger1999, jtanner, sdoran: all
    basically for it, bcoca mildly opposed.  We've agreed to take a PR
    (abadger1999, 19:18:23)
  * ACTION: abadger1999 to search for the outtanding PRs on this feature
    and coordinate until something is merged.  (abadger1999, 19:18:43)
  * jimi|ansible requests that the parameter be named data rather than
    stdin.  (abadger1999, 19:19:26)

* Backwards incompatible policy for status=preview modules:
  https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/220#issuecomment-321596159
  (abadger1999, 19:21:10)
  * Proposal For community modules marked status=preview, leave it up to
    the maintainer whether to change params, whether to have deprecation
    period, etc.  (abadger1999, 19:24:27)
  * Proposal For community modules marked status=preview, leave it up to
    the maintainer whether to change params, whether to have deprecation
    period, etc. But params must stay compatible within a minor release
    series (example: all 2.4.x releases).  Incompatible changes must be
    documented  (abadger1999, 19:27:20)
  * ACTION: abadger1999 to open a docs PR to get this documented in the
    module guidelines.  (abadger1999, 19:43:21)

* Add more modules for command/shell  warning:
  https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/25089  (abadger1999, 19:44:08)
  * LINK:
    http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html#fields
    <= is part, we just dont have it all in 1, we have 'no features in
    minor releases also'  (bcoca, 19:44:50)
  * Not in favor of expanding the list of commands that get a warning to
    use a module instead.  (abadger1999, 19:49:22)
  * may talk about a config to toggle it or dynamically generating the
    list of (commands => modules) later.  (abadger1999, 19:50:27)

* Moving url documentation to doc fragments, removing some params from
  the url argspec: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/27738
  (abadger1999, 19:53:19)
  * change can't be made as written due to compatibility.  Propose to
    dag that we discuss and implement a new urls apis or at the least a
    new, parallel url_arg_spec.  (abadger1999, 20:02:20)

* Open floor  (abadger1999, 20:03:17)

Meeting ended at 20:06:03 UTC.
