Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Question about "Add Unified Namespace" (#270)

Hi, if you want to move it back to discussion, I think you should * remove the current label * add label "Needs revision" * maybe stay assigned (you’re the default shepherd when it comes back) * explain what it means to the authors, and that they should ping me when it is ready for review again.

I am fine with committing Simon's changes to the process, although having read through them I am unclear on what action should I take. Here are some idea:

1. should I remove the label "Pending Shepherd Recommendation" and un-assign myself as a shepherd? or 2. remove the label, but stay as a shepherd, or 3. change the label to "Needs revision", or 4. do nothing, and stay in the current state until the discussion settles down?

Agreed, I think we can commit it at this point.

Support seems quite positive on that. I think we can commit. (There's not really a shepherd here because it's all internal.)

This is covered in my still-pending PR https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/271 in exactly the way Richard describes.

Can we commit it? It's been pending for ages. But NB: it's not just typography and presentation: it has actual content.

My interpretation is that as soon as discussion (that might change the content of the proposal) picks up, the proposal should go back into the discussion state. It's not good for us to have "pending recommendation" for a long time.

Hello,

I am the shepherd for #270, "Add Unified Namesapce", which was submitted for us to review around September 25. I read the proposal when it was submitted, but pretty much since then there has been continuing discussion with various new ideas being fleshed out.

So, I've been waiting for things to stabilize a bit, before I re-read it, and ask for feedback from the committee. Given that it has been about 3 weeks, and there are still more comments and suggestions, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to move it back to the "discussion" phase, or if we should leave things as they are and keep waiting.

Thoughts?
