We used to coordinate through a wiki page, see 5.7 [1] and 6.1 [2].

Though through the team-project, we have many more tools to coordinate
work than just a wiki.

Also, note that we have a team-global issue tracker [3], for anyone who
wants to see open MRs, or who wants to contribute to infra and tooling.

Interesting. I like this.

It has something in common with our CI in that tests cascade, like the
rocprim trigger -> hipcub, roctrhust jobs mentioned.

On our side, we go one step further, testing all reverse dependencies
one step outside of the ROCm graph, like ucx, spfft. And we can also
test more distributions.

Also interesting. I wish this would have been communicated more.

our own packages.

hipblas, hiprand, rocfft seem newer so their changes could be imported,
getting some of the synergy that was expected.

There have been a few discussions about this on the list, there are
arguments for and against this.

Christian, this is great!

I had a table like this in [1, 2] because we were lacking an overview,
but that became moot.

Best,
Christian
