Notes

• Haddocks for key infrastructure

  • Some packages are missing haddocks entirely, others partially
  • How can we help package maintainers lives easier to be consistent here?
  • Does this tie in with the package standards/badges?
    • Suggestion for standards: If a module is exposed, then it needs docs
    • Adds weight to guidelines work
    • Idea: Get help for "central" packages to help meet expectations
  • Racket is a good community to glean ideas from
  • Extensible documentation tooling would be helpful
  • Bring this up to academics
    • Holding the token: David
  • Recruit for helping community

• GHC.X.Hackage

  • Still WIP

• GHC tick-tock releases

  • Previously table this until August

• Update on Language/compiler features to help stability

  • Have to keep scope in control
  • Send ideas that need more research to David
    • Holding the token: Trevis

• GHC warning policy document as discussed previously

  • No progress

• Find industry user groups to help smoke test with ghc preleases from May

  • Previously tabled this as we expect the cost to decrease.
