Re: Step-by-step guide for creating a new proposal

Thank you for your kind explanation. I understood that accountability of a proposal (github PR) is very important. If it doesn't exist, the github proposal repo may become a collection of "throw-out" PRs. It's reasonable for me that only committee members can create PRs. In my understanding from your explanation, the proposal process is the following: (1) pre-discussion about a particular proposal [everyone] * privately talk with committee members, or, * talk on the haskell-prime mailing list (2) creating the new proposal on github [only committee members] * PR by a committee member (3) open discussion on github [everyone] * conservation on the PR For me, (1) is now clear. If it's written somewhere, it's easy for non-committee members to understand the total proposal process:) Thank you for committee's great work, Takenobu 2016-10-06 6:50 GMT+09:00 Carter Schonwald :

I guess the question is what is the definition of issue in that context?

Whatever the specifics, I think if you either

a) privately talk with a memeber of the committee about what you intend to do and they are willing to "co own" / "sponsor it", and this is indicated in the pr summary or the like B) ask on the list about a particular proposal / pr you wish to write up and at least 2-3 committee members explicitly respond with supportive noise like "sure"/ "go for it" etc, then linking that thread as part of the description of the PR counts as support by those committee members for that pr

(Mind you I'm making up this approach / rubric)

The intent I think of the current language in the repo is that drowning in proposals would not be a good state of affairs, and that likewise members of can hold each other accountable.

Anyways: what do you have in mind? :)

Dear Iavor,

Members of non prime-commitiee could send pull-request?

README.rst [1] is written as follows:

While the process is open for everyone to participate, contributing entirely new issues is currently limited to the members of the Core Language Committee.

Hello,

During our Haskell Prime lunch meeting at ICFP, I promised to create a detailed step-by-step guide for creating Haskell Prime proposals on GitHub. The instructions are now available here:

https://github.com/yav/rfcs/blob/instructions/step-by-step- instructions.md

Please have a look and let me know if something is unclear, or if I misunderstood something about the process.

Cheers, -Iavor
