## Priority Issues

- Sprint Epic Issue - [#5976](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/5976?ref=ghost.org)

## Discussion

- Progress is being made on getting the `{{get}}` helper and the JSON api ready to be shipped. Looking like it is going to ship as a very beta version under the Labs flag at first until lots of testing and standardization takes place. Continued work on user interaction with the admin interface.
- The issues being worked on for this sprint are located in the Public API v1 milestone and also listed in a [Sprint Epic](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/5976?ref=ghost.org) issue.

## What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #ghost channel on Ghost's [slack](https://forum.ghost.org/?ref=ghost.org). In this meeting we discuss progress, important issues, and what is and isn't on [the Roadmap](https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap?ref=ghost.org). It's a chance for everyone to get involved and have their say about where Ghost goes next.

Hope to see you at next week's meeting: [Tuesday 27th October, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2015-10-27,270,6bj).
