Hi folks,

sorry, took me more than a few months, but I wrote a draft of a python-ideas 
HOWTO here,

https://hackmd.io/@-6xkuCDkTrSFptQEimAdcg/B1noEGh2H

Thanks to Eric Smith and Chris Barker for their link suggestions, and Chris 
Angelico and Guido van Rossum for their additional thoughts in a brief off-list 
thread.

SO. The question becomes, where do we host this?

I received the strong suggestion from both Guido and Stephen Turnbull that it 
should be in the devguide (see quoted message from GvR below).

But, when I finished this draft and went to look at the devguide repo, realized 
that the devguide at https://devguide.python.org/ may not be the best place to 
host it, because (as written) the dev guide is VERY focused on code 
development. I think this HOWTO is a bit more community and process oriented 
than the current top-level materials in the dev guide.

So instead of submitting a PR, I am appealing to the list for your thoughts.

The three easiest options I see are:

1. Put it on python.org, perhaps replacing the content here: 
https://www.python.org/dev/. I can’t figure out where that content is hosted 
(it’s not in https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/ !?)

2. put it in the current dev guide somewhere, just so it lands in version 
control. Then iterate on both it and the dev guide. My first thought would be 
to merge the content with this document, 
https://github.com/python/devguide/blob/master/langchanges.rst.

3. put it somewhere near the front of the current dev guide, and do more work 
to adjust the dev guide.

Thoughts? Am I missing am obvious location? Should I just get on with a PR and 
we’ll sort it out later? :)

best,
—titus
