Herbert, Austin,
right, I didn't notice link to Newcomers is on the "Working on GHC" page. I
rearranged it slightly
by reversing first three steps. So link to Newcomers is now first on the list
and I think it
might stay that way. Link to "Working on GHC" is also in the second paragraph
of the main wiki
page, so I think we're good.
As for the sidebar I'm using it on a regular basis although I feel some links
could be removed:
Documentation -> Repositories; Debugging; View Tickets -> By Milestone; By OS;
By Architecture;
But that's only my opinion - I'm CCing ghc-devs so others can chime in. If we
could somehow track
how often each link is used that could be a valuable information. Not sure if
it can be done.
The problem with Repositories is that it doesn't live under one of the 4
main hierarchies (Building, Commentary, Debugging, WorkingConventions),
so finding it is a bit tricky. I've just added a link to it from the
top WorkingConventions page so that should help. I think perhaps it
ought to be moved under WorkingConventions/Repositories.
I don't know about other people, but the way I most commonly query
tickets is from the Roadmap page: pick a milestone and click on "active
tickets".
Cheers,
Simon
Janek

I added link to Newcomers page at the main page of Commentary.
btw, I'm confused a bit... there's already a rather obvious
"Joining In"->"Working on GHC" link in the side-bar, which points to
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions
which then points you to the steps that are expected from newcomers,
including the 'Newcomers' page as the 3rd step; once could maybe just
add more emphasis to the 3rd step so that it visually stands out better
(e.g. via [2] or [3])
I'm just worried that cluttering the side-bar[1] with a redundant link
may make it less useful.
Don't have the permissions to add it to the sidebar though.
...the reason is btw, that it's a hacked in HTML fragment that's part of
the custom Trac stylesheet mod for GHC; it can't be edited via the
web-UI.
[1]: which, personally, I find kinda overloaded and redundant which
makes me wonder if it's really that useful in its current form;
[2]: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WikiBoxes
[3]: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WikiIcons
