• Update "javadoc-like" documentation for feature packs

• JDK17 as minimum version for provisioning tooling

• Java SE 25 and WildFly

• Slides 19-20 from https://www.wildfly.org/assets/conference/202403-whats-new-and-roadmap.pdf describe how we handle what we say about SE support

• For WildFly 38, Java SE 25 will be in the 'Qualifying' category

• We'll want to get it 'Recommended' in WildFly 39 or 40

• What do you think about doing project spotlights?

• WildFly has a huge code base and also integrates dozens of Open Source projects. We could have short spotlights (~15 minutes) on some of these projects, what they provide, what’s coming (e.g. Undertow, RestEasy, Elytron).

• Deep dive into moving to Junit 5 for the WildFly test suites
