Dear Mike Thank you! That sounds like a fantastic offer. I think Andreas, Sam, Teo, Cheng are probably the best people to start with, although others may chime in. But why not also come to the GHC HQ meeting which happens every week at 1300 UTC on Tuesdays?

Hi,
I’m a decade-plus Haskell dabbler who’s now in a position to contribute to GHC, and I’ve been considering how I might do so most effectively.
In reading the recent bug report about the contribution experience https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/26728, one takeaway I had was that improving the testing story could make a big difference—making sure tests are reliable, trying to make the test suite fail as fast as possible, etc.
Since most of my $JOB for the last dozen years was devoted to building bespoke testing infrastructure and working with engineers to come up with effective strategies for optimizing fail-fast—and working in a codebase that, itself, started with an unreliable test suite—this seems like an issue where I could help.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any documentation on whether there is a person or a group that is primarily responsible for the testing infrastructure—no doubt the information is out there somewhere, and I just didn’t look in the right place—and I would appreciate any pointers as to who best to talk to in order to get involved.
Thanks,
Mike. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list -- ghc-devs@haskell.org To unsubscribe send an email to ghc-devs-leave@haskell.org
