Re: Website for viewing proposals

Having a read-only rendered version of all accepted proposals should probably be pretty simple---we can even host it in the same repo using "Github Pages". I don't know that we need anything more complex than that. On Thu, May 9, 2019 at 5:41 AM Joachim Breitner wrote:

Hi,

I looked into getting doi’s for our accepted proposals, but it looked harder than it should be.

Building a nice web page from our repository and publishing it on GitHub pages, which can serve a custom domain like ghc-proposals.haskell.org would not be hard. Matthew even started a Makefile at some point that produces a reasonably nice output using sphinx.

Maybe only reason why I am hesitant to do so is that there is a feature creep risk: We start with a webpage that shows accepted proposals, soon we’ll add functionality to list pending proposals and their status (why not? They are just a GitHub API call away), then we start using this page to actually drive the proposals (surely we can use this to tally the votes), and then we end up with a system that no longer has the “you just need to know GitHub to use it” property that made us build a Github-centric process in the first place.

But maybe I am paranoid, and I should just set up the CI infrastructure for Matthew’s sphinx build.

BTW, in hindsight, I regret that we renumber proposals after acceptance. It would be easier if they just retained the number of the PR (other proposal processes out there do that). But that ship has sailed.

Cheers, Joachim

I want to cite a GHC proposal but linking to github for it doesn't seem very official or permanent.

Last year you also cited a proposal for your Haskell symposium paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.03476) but instead linked to the pull request which also doesn't seem ideal to me.

Interesting. How would it differ from what we have (i.e. github's RST viewer)?

Hi,

It would be useful if there was a canonical way to link and view GHC proposals rather than relying on github's RST viewer.

Can we set up a website, `ghc.haskell.org/proposals`, which is deployed to automatically when a new accepted proposal is merged?

FWIW, if the proposals process was also on gitlab then doing this deployment would be easy using our CI infrastructure but I don't know how to set up something similar on github.

Cheers,
