Heads up: Scheduling a vote for phase 2

[fitzgen]

This issue is an announcement for visibility: I'm adding an agenda item to the 2024-07-30 CG meeting to give an update on the discussion in #13 and the prototype implementation status in Wasmtime as well as to vote for moving this proposal to phase 2.

As a reminder, these are the phase 2 entry requirements:

Entry requirements:

• Precise and complete overview document is available in a forked repo around which a reasonably high level of consensus exists.
• Updates to the actual spec document, test suite, and reference interpreter are NOT yet required.

If anyone believes that that there exists a better design for supporting smaller-than-64KiB memories, that an alternative approach hasn't received enough consideration, etc... please speak up well before then! Feel free to leave a comment here, open an issue in this repo, or reach out to me privately.

I made a quick implementation in wasm3: https://github.com/tommie/wasm3/tree/custom-page-size tommie/wasm3@3d2dfb7

Since it's running on small devices (RP2040 for me,) having small page sizes is really useful. (That said, I made some PRs for fuzz-bugs others had found, which aren't being addressed, so I think wasm3 is about to die out.)

Very cool! Thanks for sharing, will dig in a bit.

Yeah, my understanding is that unfortunately the war in Ukraine has severely impacted wasm3's author. Terrible.

The vote happened and passed, so I will close this issue.

Yes, fuzz-bugs are currently not addressed due to a lack of resources.

Frankly, I have more interesting and financially rewarding tasks on my plate. At some point, Wasm3 may receive more attention and care.
