Thoughts?
Isn't this just reinventing git branches?
If people have their work-in-progress branches on GitHub then people can
already try them out, submit pull requests etc. That's the whole point
of a branch.
Yes, but what I propose is the centralized repository for that branches
(eventual candidates to std). Currently no one knows all modules that
are being worked on.
I think it would be enough to post something on D.announce and then
whoever is interested can watch your branch. Maybe even a wiki page could
categorize the branches.
I agree with others that github's forking and branching mechanism works
quite well for developing multi-user projects. For example, both Lars
Kyllingstad and I are working on a new std.process module, he's doing the
main design and unixen implementations, I'm doing the windows
implementation.
