Re: [ghc-steering-committee] GHC2024 committee deliberation

Joachim, Gathering some data might be a good idea, provided the secretary is banned from doing this! (I mean it is really, really bad idea to load up the secretary with these kinds of activities.) I am not in favour of polling. We collect that kind of data in the survey -- can we not use that? Advertising the ghc-proposal issue in the usual places should be sufficient. Otherwise I fear we would be inviting problems and poor decisions. Chris

Hi,

it was brought to my attention that the proposal that introduced GHC20xx actually laid out a specific process to decide about the next GHC20xx: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0372-gh...

This includes “secretary tallies usage on Hackage” and “secretary runs a public poll”, and also wants to do all these things on _all_ extensions, instead on focusing on those that least someone nominates, and requires every committee member to independently propose a set of extensions.

I’m not sure to what extend we should tie ourselves to a process we imagined three years ago. But if anyone things we should do one of these things, we can.

I guess I could at least do a simple poll on discourse with the currently proposed extensions.

Cheers, Joachim
