I've done more than skim the policy, and I agree it seems reasonable.

Of course, it shoul;d be considered a first draft: once adopted, subsequent MRs and reviews over time will probably shake out things that need to be amended or clarified.

In addition, I'd suggest one area not currently addressed: the use of AI for reviewing. Ideally it would follow the same general tone as that for contributing, and include things like disclosure of use of AI tools as part of reviewing.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for writing down this policy. Upon skimming, it looks quite agreeable to me. 

The mathematics community is plagued by similar discussions; I think many people agree with https://leidendeclaration.ai/.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Dear GHC developers

There has been some debate on  #27433 about the role of LLMs in the GHC project.  Informed by that discussion, and by the policies adopted by other language communities, I have had a go at drafting

• this proposed policy

I would welcome constructive feedback on it.  

As the draft tries to say, there are widely varying views in the community, so no policy will please everyone.   I hope that, even where we disagree, we can do so agreeably.  Criticism (respectful of course!) is absolutely fine, but positive, concrete suggestions for alternative wording is even better.

Thank you to those who have already given me some private feedback, which has made the draft much better.

Simon
