The tree being broken is bad for everyone: users, new- and regular-contributors alike. I think it's fair to say that this change will improve everyone's experience, even if it's aimed at regular contributors. > If new contributors are not part of a conversation about contributing > to GHC, when and where did that conversation happen and what is being > done about it? > It is important to remember that the ideas that were described at the head of this thread arose at a discussion at ICFP; I think it's fair to say that there is significantly more GHC-hacking experience per head in this group than average. Consequently, it's quite understandable if the ideas discussed there may have focused more on regular contributors than new contributors. However, I would like to emphasize that this does /not/ mean that we have no interest in hearing from beginning contributors. I would love to hear from those who feel lost in the current scheme. I spoke with a number of new contributors at ICFP who reported varying degrees of success. I would love to hear more experiences! Cheers, - Ben
