## Discussion

- Does `pip` support `pylock.toml` now? Should we switch to it for pinned docs builds?
- It's used now ([python/cpython#149058](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/149058)),
but in some cases (that is, on Windows, see
[python/cpython#149175](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/149175))
we still use `requirements.txt`.

- The next priorities for documentation are improvements for multithreaded
programming and the free-threaded build.

- [Ned] The [Thread Safety Guarantees page](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threadsafety.html):
this is a different style that nearby pages. It's more conversational, and I
think it should be split into smaller pages.
- Ideally, the list type should have its methods documented concretely
(in addition to just sequence methods). That's a requirement to be able
to note thread safety of each list method inline in docs
(outside the thread safety page itself).
- See also the free-threading Discord, which has a channel for
documentation: https://discord.gg/WwmKQ6duJA

- Will there be a docs sprint at upcoming conferences?
- PyCon US - maybe
- EuroPython - yes

- How to help people feel more welcome in the [Python Docs Discord](https://discord.gg/862cyme4)?
- Ryan volunteers to personally welcome new people in DMs for a month to get
some information about what people need when they join.
