I love the direction of Elm and I want Evan to keep a tight grip on all the core but outside of the compiler/core, there should be a team of trusted officers that should have the freedom to quickly extend what Elm covers from the web platform and take care of trivial details like merging spelling PRs and obvious fixes. The only way I view this happening in a sane and sustainable way is through a process. Some kind of flow that describes how things should happen so that Evan can just approve the new stuff without having waste too much of his time. Even a small Technical Committee that would just triage issues/PRs, labeling them for Evan and closing/merging stuff that should not bother him, would be a HUGE step forward. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
