Starting GHC development.

It's been my New Year's resolution to stop being just a GHC user and become a GHC developer.

Thank you.  We need lots of help!

The process you've followed looks right.  (Edward is right to find the patch that made the change that you reverted, and ask its author.)

I see you've also worked on #8602.

By changing the status to patch, Austin should get to it in due course.

Hello GHC devs.

It's been my New Year's resolution to stop being just a GHC user and become a GHC developer.

To that end, I've submitted my first patch to GHC (trac #8475 -- just a simple documentation fix). Nothing too earth shattering, but I figured this would be a good way to familiarize myself with the GHC workflow.

I believe I've followed the instructions for working on GHC correctly. Please let me know if I have strayed.

Looking forward to many more commits in the future.

Happy New Year.
