+---
+
+## Topics discussed:
+
+- Define what’s the walkthrough section we want to add
+- Triage missing rustc-guide chapters
+- How do we want to keep track of who is doing what? Does github Projects works
+  nice for this?
+
+## Plan for walkthrough/overview chapter
+
+- Goal is to have a chapter which will walk through compilation of simple program
+- Links to other chapters for details
+- This overview differs from the existing queries chapter in that the latter is
+  more focused on how to create your own queries.
+
+Status:
+- lokalmatador is giving this a try & will open a PR at some point
+
