[oi-dev] Tasks to focus on

[Hung Nguyen Gia]

I hope you are happily to read me, too. You should remember me when we encountered on illumos.org/issues page.

If you want to know, my vote is: Building with GCC-10 and Updating Clang.

Compiler tool chain is one of the weakness of OI. If you could get the latest stable compiler working and able to building with it, it's a very good news.
