+system implementation in rustc. This working group is a collaboration
+between the [lang team] and the compiler team. We have a number of inter-related
+goals:
 
-[Chalk-style]: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/chalk
+- designing new trait-related language features;
+- documenting and specifying the semantics of traits in Rust today; and,
+- improving the trait solver implementation in rustc.

-# Current status
+A big part of this work is transitioning the compiler to use a
+[Chalk-style] solver, but along the way we hope to make targeted fixes
+to the existing solver where needed.
 
-- Preliminary Chalk integration in Rustc is complete.
-- Currently doing a lot of documentation work.
-- Developing a plan for what to do next.
