+## Description
+
+1. Reword each section of the syntax chapters of the
+   [Python Language Reference](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html):
+    - [x] Lexical analysis
+    - [ ] Expressions
+    - [ ] Simple statements
+    - [ ] Compound statements
+    - [ ] Top-level components
+2. Synchronize the documented formal grammar with Python's actual grammar.
+   (Both will need changing.)
+3. Automatically generate as much of the formal grammar snippets as possible.
+4. Add railroad diagrams to the docs.
+5. Move the non-syntax chapters (Data model, Execution model, The import
+   system) out of the Language Reference, and possibly rename it to
+   *Python Syntax Reference*.
+
+## Benefits
+
+Better syntax docs that match current Python.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- Is this a good direction?
+- Is the style good? See the mostly finished
+  [Lexical analysis](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html)
+  chapter and the [current work](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/141984)
+  on Expressions.
+
+## Challenges and risks
+
+- There is an abrupt change in style between the rewritten chapters and the
+  rest that is still untouched.
+- The work is moving slowly, and depends on one person.
+
+## How to help
+
+The lead is not looking for people to take this on, since reviewing would be
+as hard as writing. Feedback on the direction and style is welcome. The work
+happens on weekly livestreams: see the
+[Python Docs Discord](https://discord.gg/nXkJ2JYvCu).
