Start newsletter#11

[sunjon]

A rough draft attempt to cover some of the 0.5 features/timeline; LSP, Tree-sitter, vim-conf, etc.

There's no detail yet on the highlighted changes section or in general, and there's some overlap in what's already covered in newsletter#10/4.4.

For LSP & Lua, you could link directly to my talks about them from vimconf, as I think they give good info 😆

I can put the links here if you want them.

Yes please, direct links to any of the content would be good (and any accompaying slides)

@sunjon Great initiative. Note that we are open to other type of blog posts than just the release ones, so anyone should feel free to propose a blog post focusing on either LSP or tree-sitter etc.

"halfway there" (with respect to the 1.0) :)

Ideally I would envision 2 companion blog posts: about LSP and treesitters. These are brand new introductions and too complex to mix with a newsletter (introduction + technical setup + current state/ecosystem and what's next). These could serve as the official soft reference (in contrast to :help or nvim-lspconfig). Then there is always the matter of writing those. I believe @vigoux might have something for treesitter ? as for LSP, if there is no volunteer I can come up with something.

I have been doing some things, but nothing significant yet, I'll try to have it ready soon.

I've put @sunjon 's template on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/newsletter-%2311-:-the-0.5-release so that we can collaboratively edit it.

What is currently needed to push this? Looks like some sections need to be finished up.

I think the 0.5 release commit has a good overview of what has changed as well.

probably it would make sense to move the too unfinished parts to a new wip newsletter #11 and finish off the parts relevant to the release (and yes some stuff could be copied over from the release commit).
