Open discussions:

• [feature request] Support Compose models score-compose#367
• Let's answer this one: [FEATURE] Consider score-spec a superset of compose-spec (or potentially merge with compose) #166
  • Contexts:
    • Compose --> Cloud Run: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/serverless/cloud-run-and-docker-collaboration
    • Compose --> Kubernetes
  • Let's document what are the overlaps and what Score brings on top of that and its value-add
• initContainers - [feature request] Support of Ordered Container Start score-compose#321
  • What about starting somewhere simple and iterate to make progress here? For example, let's merge the PR in the Spec: this shouldn't add any breaking change, right? And we could start with a score-compose's patch template (instead of coding anything in the implementation itself? Same for score-k8s. And then when we have tested this, we can better document this for the actual implementation and ask for external contributions as good first issues?
• score-aca - What are the next steps with this repo? score-aca#27
• Anyone was able to test this? https://github.com/cappyzawa/score-orchestrator

Call for more contributions:

• For contributors: https://clotributor.dev/search?foundation=cncf&project=score
• For the Maintainers: any good first issues we could add in there?
