I have followed the discussion on the types mailing list with much
interest. I am afraid I am still having problems understanding what
the POPL Steering Committee believes will be improved:
- Will a different set of papers be accepted? Do we expect this will
be a better set than is accepted by the current process?
- Will reviews be improved?
The proposal seems quite costly, but I would not wish to comment on
the costs without better understanding the perceived benefits.
Could a member of the steering committee perhaps elaborate on what
problem or problems this proposal is intended to solve?
