Process
Hi all
Recently Rob posted suggesting (in effect) that the people who put proposals for
change should take charge of following them up. Several have expressed varying
levels of frustration or confusion with this process, or lack of it.
I'm going to take up Rob's idea in relation to these proposals - sequence of
integer, typing elements of a sequence-object within a type block, and aliasing
elements within a type block. I didn't have anything to do with the first thread,
but it's related to the others and no one is owning it.
If the community doesn't want me to do this, please feel free to speak up. I
won't mind.
There seemed to be enough common ground in these to warrant a vote. I will go
through the threads and try to get a couple of candidates (concrete syntax) for
each that can be voted on. I'll ignore my own comments and ideas and look for
common ground among other contributors. One variation for each may be too few
(and too hard to choose which one). More than 2 or 3 may just split the vote
indecisively.
I'll simply act as the manager of the process.
It may take me a few days, but I'll get there. I'm not acquainted with what
documentation exists on the site already, but I have in mind that all decisions,
positive or negative, should be recorded - so there'll be a TODO list (for
successful proposals) and a REJECT list (for unsuccessful ones). The reject list
will avoid repeated ventilation of the same issues - not that anything is set in
stone.
In some of the threads, people might not have contributed before for reasons
other than disinterest. Since I'll be using the threads to make selections, feel
free to wade in now. Preferably you could post to the relevant thread, not this
thread.
Cheers all
Peter Robinson
