+# Go2 status
+
+This page tracks the status of "Go 2".
+
+Go 2 is in a very early, planning phase.
+
+## Bugs
+
+* [Open Go2 bugs](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AGo2)
+* 
+
+## Talks
+
+* [GopherCon 2017: Russ Cox - The Future of Go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zbh_vmAKvk) 
+* [GopherCon Russia 2018: Brad Fitzpatrick - Go: Looking back and looking forward](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCB-g2B4Y5A) (Go2 stuff is at about 20 minutes in)
+
+## Scope
+
+From talk above:
+
+* "maybe three major changes"
+* plus minor housekeep tasks
+* TBD
+
+Examples of major changes:
+
+* [generics](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15292)?
+* [simplified, improved error handling](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/21161)?
+* ...
+
+Examples of housekeeping:
+
+* [Open Go2Cleanup bugs](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AGo2Cleanup) (please don't add this label to things without discussion)
+
+## Compatibility
+
+We do not want to break the ecosystem. Go 1 and Go 2 code must be able to interoperate in programs with ease.
+
+## Standard library
+
+The standard library would probably be versioned and permit out-of-cycle updates, but be included with Go releases. Maybe "encoding/foo" become shorthand for "golang.org/x/std/encoding/foo". TBD. Some package would probably get v2 major versions, but the v1 versions would be minimally maintained, at least for security.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+TBD
