GHC contribution guidelines and infrastructure talk on 6th September at HIW?

[Simon Peyton Jones]

| On Saturday 6th September is the Haskell Implementers Workshop. There
| has been plenty of discussion over the last 12 months about making
| contributions to GHC less formidable. Is this story going to be told at
| HIW? A talk about revised contribution guidelines and helpful tool
| support might engage those sat on, or peering over, the fence.

I think that's a great idea.  Maybe Simon M, or Joachim, or Austin, or Herbert?  Of some coalition thereof

| Hi,
| 
| On Saturday 6th September is the Haskell Implementers Workshop. There
| has been plenty of discussion over the last 12 months about making
| contributions to GHC less formidable. Is this story going to be told at
| HIW? A talk about revised contribution guidelines and helpful tool
| support might engage those sat on, or peering over, the fence.
| 
| This might  include:
| 
| * Phabricator code review demonstration.
| * Continuous integration infrastructure.
| * Trac demonstration, e.g. how to contribute to design discussions.
| * Wiki navigation, and important new pages born in recent months.
| * GHC coding guidelines, e.g. using notes and haddock documentation.
| * Git policies, e.g. use of submodules.
| * What GHC needs.. Windows testers?
| * Old contribution guidelines that no longer apply.
| 
| Is HIW on 6th September a good place to give a "GHC contributions and
| infrastructure" talk?
