I'm sure you've noticed that there is a lot of traffic on this list. I want to emphasize that if you really care about an idea, you should make sure it gets on the wiki in one way or another, or it may get lost in the mass of traffic on the mailing list: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/CreateProposal How to create a proposal If you have an idea: 1. Post it to the MailingList. Use the MailingList for discussion and to reach a consensus. 2. If you don't have a wiki account, Log in with username guest and password haskell' to create and edit tickets. 3. after some discussion, create a new ticket (or modify an existing one) to document the consensus as a proposal. See WikiGuidelines. 4. You may want to post the wiki page you create back to the thread so that the thread participants can review and edit it. If you get no support on the mailing list for an idea, please think twice about whether or not to create a ticket for it. 5. Watch for threads that outlive their usefulness as a discussion. Document the disagreements on the wiki. How to modify an existing proposal 1. if the proposal is in a ticket, modify it directly 2. otherwise, if you don't have write access to the wiki, discuss your change request on the mailing list 3. or just modify the ticket that references that wiki page, requesting the change be made there. peace, isaac -- isaac jones
