[wix-devs] v4.0 - status check/where to jump in

[Rob Mensching]

Item 4559 deserves a general solution for "providing an 'implementation' of some MSI concept if one isn't explicitly authored". The other concepts are default implementations of all the standard MSI Directories (so you don't need to author TARGETDIR or ProgramsFolder or ProgramFilesFolder, etc) and a default Feature (so you don't have to author a Feature in your .wxs code). So default Media, standard Directory and Feature implementations (when one isn't provided).

I have issue(s) open on the standard Directory as well.

Feel free to take any of these: https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Av4.0+assignee%3Abarnson+

Or a couple that might be interesting (he says being the one to open them):

https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/4559
https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5649
https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5652

The latter two of which point to a good area: WixCop. I was going to move it into the Tools repo but if you wanted to do that, I'm happy to pick up other stuff. WixCop could use some love, though I've put a significant amount of WiX v3 code through it lately with good results.

I was hoping for a more specific task like "fix this bug" or "create this micro repo".
