That’s pretty good! * Simon suggested a better way to keep tabs on what’s going on, and you’ll find the second half of this mail at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/wiki/Status As before, I still didn’t get around to mess with markdown tables etc… Maybe I just don’t feel the itch enough. * Membership changes!
