The Raku Steering Council held its first public problem-solving meeting on January 17, 2026, with four council members and eight community attendees. They addressed four GitHub issues in the allotted hour, closing three and moving one to the next session. The meeting focused on practical governance for the Raku programming language.

Richard Hainsworth explained that shifting URLs for auto-generated documentation pages create dead links, a legacy issue from the language's early documentation system. The council decided to close that issue, planning to address it within the upcoming RakuDoc rewrite. For the `FALLBACK` and `CALL-ME` naming discussion, Elizabeth Mattijsen proposed writing blog posts to better categorize these special features before formalizing a name.

A debate over changing core method return types from `Array` to `Iterable` revealed potential ecosystem breakage. The group agreed documentation should reflect the change, but spec tests must be guarded by a language level bump to preserve backward compatibility. The SEO issue for 'rakulang' was deemed outdated and closed.

The next meeting is set for February 7, 2026, at 19:00 UTC, using the Jitsi platform. Four more issues are scheduled, including community resource pages and the Raku Classification System. All Raku community members are encouraged to attend and review the issues beforehand.
