Re: Open up the issues tracker on ghc-proposals

I suppose that would be a reasonable alternative. But to keep discussion tracking reasonable, I suspect it would be best to close the pre-proposal PR and open a new one (with mutual links) for the actual proposal if and when the time comes. On Tue, May 1, 2018, 3:24 PM Richard Eisenberg wrote:

I like this idea, but I think this can be done as a PR, which seems a better fit for collaborative building. The author can specify that a proposal is a "pre-proposal", with the goal of fleshing it out before committee submission. If it becomes necessary, we can furnish a tag to label these, but I'm honestly not sure we'll need to.

Sometimes, a language extension idea could benefit from some community discussion before it's ready for a formal proposal. I'd like to propose that we open up the GitHub issues tracker for ghc-proposals to serve as a place to discuss pre-proposal ideas. Once those discussions converge on one or a few specific plans, someone can write a proper proposal. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
