 * [ES6-style unicode string escaping](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/446): Remove `\u203D` and `\U0001F4A9` unicode string escapes, and add ECMAScript 6-style `\u{1F4A9}` escapes instead. Strong positive feedback, some concern with how it interacts with format strings.
 
-* [extension trait conventions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/445): Establishes a definition and naming convention for extension traits: traits which aren't intended for generic programing, but instead extending existing types. If extending a `Foo`, use `FooExt`. If Extending a `Foo`'s when they impl another trait like `Add`, use `FooAddExt`.

 * [cmp and ops reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/439): Refactors `Cmp` and the operator overloading traits. Generally positive feedback. Highlights include:
   * Make basic unary and binary operators work by value and use associated types.

 * [Finalizing more naming conventions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/430): finalizes a few long-running de facto conventions, including capitalization/underscores, and the role of the unwrap method. Generally positive feedback, some discussion of naming consts like enum variants.
 
+* [Reserve macro identifiers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/456): Preemptively reserve a class of $ identifiers for allowing backwards compatible improvements to the macro system.

+### Videos
+
+* [An introduction to Servo](https://air.mozilla.org/an-introduction-to-servo/): Lars Bergstrom from the Research team provides an overview of the Servo project, demonstrates its current status, and shows how to contribute to it.
+
+* BRSON NOTE: other meetup talks on air mozilla? Site is inscrutable.

+
+### Blog Posts
+
+* [This Week In Servo (10)](http://blog.servo.org/2014/11/04/twis-10/)
+
+* [Rewriting Rust Serialization, Part 2: Performance](http://erickt.github.io/blog/2014/11/03/performance/): A quick look at how Rust's JSON serialization performance compares to other languages and protocols.
+
+* [Improved Error Handling in Rust](http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/11/6/error-handling-in-rust/): Some discussion of how Rust currently and theoretically handles erroes.
+
+* [Don't Panic! The Hitchhiker's Guide to Unwinding](http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/10/30/dont-panic/): A nice discussion of the challenges of safe and ergonomic error handling, and how it relates to stack unwinding.
+
+* [Let's build a browser engine! Part 7: Painting 101](http://limpet.net/mbrubeck/2014/11/05/toy-layout-engine-7-painting.html): Part of a longer series on writing a browser engine in Rust. *In this article, I will add very basic painting code.*
+
+* [On pattern matching performance in Rust](http://www.cjqed.com/blog/rust-pattern-matching-performance/): A quick look at how the `match` statement can produce really efficient code.
+
+* [Rust and Go](https://medium.com/@adamhjk/rust-and-go-e18d511fbd95): A quick look at Rust and Go from the perspective of a sysadmin used to high-level programming languages. 
+
+* [Learning Rust](http://foon.uk/rust.html): *Inspired by Artyom's Learning Racket series, I've decided to log my efforts in learning Rust. I'm going to document my learning process as I go about trying to build a roguelike in Rust. I've downloaded the compiler, skimmed the getting started guide, and written “Hello World”. So let's get started!*

+### Discuss
+
+* [Pre-RFC: placement box with Placer trait](http://discuss.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-placement-box-with-placer-trait/729/6): Add user-defined placement box expression (more succinctly, "a box
+expression"), an operator analogous to "placement new" in C++. This
+provides a way for a user to specify (1.) how the backing storage for
+some datum should be allocated, (2.) that the allocation should be
+ordered before the evaluation of the datum, and (3.) that the datum
+should preferably be stored directly into the backing storage (rather
+than temporary storage on the stack and then copying the datum from
+the stack into the backing storage).
+
+* [Forbid -(unsigned integer)](http://discuss.rust-lang.org/t/forbid-unsigned-integer/752): the eternal struggle continues. It's super handy when you want it, but also a common error to make.
+
+* [Moving all built-in macros to plugins](http://discuss.rust-lang.org/t/moving-all-built-in-macros-to-plugins/737): Another proposal to handle some of the issues with macros for 1.0. May make it easier to bootstrap changes to the compiler. 
+
+* [Lifetime Notation](http://discuss.rust-lang.org/t/lifetime-notation/751): `&'a` -> `a&`. Some discussion of tradeoffs and details.
