⭐️ Read the summary of questions and answers so far in our FAQ! ⭐️
After this summer's "Laying the foundation for Rust's future" blog post the Rust Foundation Project Group began the work to setup a new home for the Rust Project. We're getting near the end of the work, and we'd love to answer all the questions you have on the Rust Foundation!
We welcome everyone to post their questions as new issues, and the team will do their best to answer them! You can also check the open issues to see what other people asked and the answers to their questions. If you can't open GitHub issues or want to send questions privately you can send them via email to foundation@rust-lang.org.
Please note that if an issue is labelled answered the team will not return
to it, so if you have a follow up question, please post it as a new issue.
Periodically, we'll be summarizing the set of questions and answers on the issue tracker and collecting them in an FAQ.
The members of the Rust Core Team will answer questions from the members of the Rust Team starting from December 2nd.
Members of the Rust community will be able to ask questions of the Rust Core Team by filing issues on this repository during the following time periods:

In addition to this repository, we’ve scheduled two “live broadcasts”. These sessions will feature members of the core team discussing and responding to some of the questions that have been asked thus far. Naturally, even if you can’t catch the live broadcast, the video will be available for streaming afterwards.

Please keep in mind that the Foundation is still in its final stages of being set up. This means that we are not able to talk about sponsors or specific details of legal documents at this time.
Additionally: none of the members of the Rust Core Team are lawyers, but we have been working closely with lawyers. Many questions may end up touching on legal issues; the Rust Core Team will do its best to communicate its understanding, but we'd like to keep disputes of the law out of this forum to the extent that we can!
