I did not plan this out too much. I would say let's use common sense rather 
than setting up processes. The columns are to give viewers an overview for our 
open process.

Anyway, here's the gist behind the columns when I created them:

Pre-proposed is for things nobody cared enough about to write the proposal. The 
idea is that pull requests/proposals should be created from each. 

Proposed is where things start being tracked as actual proposals with rst files 
and what have you. These are invitations for everyone to participate in the 
discussion. 

In discussion is to single out the tickets with the most traffiic for those who 
want to get am overview of current events. When the discussion stalls the 
ticket might move back a column. 

Last call means that, ideally, every committee member (and whoever else is 
interested) should do a final proof-read of the proposal. Things in this column 
are considered good and final by the participants in the discussion before, and 
if there is no objection, that's what goes into the report. 

The last column is to show what made it into the report pipeline for some time 
for our less frequent readers.

I see we have a "Last call" column. What are its semantics? What are
the criteria for moving an RFC into it? Once there, can the RFC be
moved back out? Has it a time limit when an RFC there must be either
merged or closed? How shall we choose whether to merge or close?

If no one has an idea yet, i propose this:
• A Committee member can move to nominate an RFC by making a comment
to that effect. If no comments have been made on the RFC since,
another member may then move the RFC to "Last call".
• Once in "Last call", an RFC remains for 1 week while further
comments can be made and committee members cast votes for either
"Merge" or "Close". Open question: shall we vote openly in the
comments or by some other system TBD?
• At the end of the voting period, if a majority of the committee (not
merely of those who voted) votes to merge or close, we do so; else we
move the RFC back to "In discussion".

I formulated this procedure so no one member could push an agenda
unilaterally, but to break the stall in progress i have been feeling
here. Alternative proposals welcome.

New Github features and Haskell Prime

2016-09-22 Thread David Luposchainsky via Haskell-prime
Hello prime people,

Github recently added a board-style overview over tickets and small notes. I
think this is a great addition, and converted all current PRs to board items.

There is no shortage of things to be considered for Haskell Prime, and I find it
hard to think of them all. For things I’m somewhat interested in seeing a
proposal for, I created notes that are not yet tickets, but serve as a reminder
to consider them at some point.

I’d like to invite you all to add your language extensions and ideas to the 
board
in the pre-proposal column. Even if you don’t have the time to write a proposal,
someone else might see the note and decide to do so instead.

See you at https://github.com/haskell/rfcs/projects/1

Greetings,
David/quchen
