RE: Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

I think that would be a fine idea, but it's always hard - pages change their status (a proposal becomes part of GHC) - a page may belong in multiple places - people keep URLs in bookmarks, and they are linked from other pages in Trac so moving pages is painful. The last is significant. Do we

Re: Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

I'm all for improving organization of the wiki but I'm not sure about this idea. What happens when a proposal gets implemented? You can't just move the page to a new address. You can create a new wiki page describing the final dsign that was implemented and replace the content of the proposal

Re: Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

Suggestion: Why not use the namespace 'Design' rather than 'Proposal'? Rationale: a Proposal is a proposed design, and a final implementation is, well, an implementation of that design. So what the thing is does not change, but its status (proposal vs implemented) does. And, in fact, there

Re: I'm going to disable DPH until someone starts maintaining it

Hi Austin, I haven't heard back from you about this, and D302 has been waiting for review in phab for two weeks. This seems to be a minor change, so if I don't hear otherwise by the end of the week, I'm going to go ahead and merge. Thanks, Geoff On 08/29/2014 01:29 PM, Geoffrey Mainland wrote:

Re: Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

Instead of encoding the status in the URL, since we don't want URLs to change with the status of the proposal/feature changes, it sounds like we really just want something better than TitleIndex for browsing the wiki. (I've never seen a Trac wiki where TitleIndex is that useful anyway, other than

Re: Wiki: special namespace for proposals?

Joachim yes, you are right that proposals and designs are different things. And we already have a namespace for that: Commentary! Good point. So when a Proposal gets implemented, this should be clearly noted at the top of the Proposal page, linking to the relevant Comentary page (...) The

yeah, agreed currently on the wiki its sometimes hard to determine which pages are this is how we implemented it vs this is a bunch of different ideas and approaches we're trying to layout On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 12:58 PM, Joachim Breitner m...@joachim-breitner.de wrote: Hi, Am Mittwoch,

Hi Geoff, Sorry about that - this one slipped by my radar amongst a lot of other things. I'm spending today in the review queue, so I'll get to it. On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 10:43 AM, Geoffrey Mainland mainl...@apeiron.net wrote: Hi Austin, I haven't heard back from you about this, and D302 has

Re: RFC: Source-markup language for GHC User's Guide

OK, to kick this thread around: It seems like several people who touch the users guide are in favor of this due to: - Simpler markup - DocBook compatibility - Hopefully attracting more users if it's easier to manage. Cons: - +1 Dependency (minor) - No formal grammar (I don't think it
