[ghc-steering-committee] #380 GHC2021: Structured summary

[Simon Peyton Jones]

|  Simon, is this sufficient that it can replace manually maintaining the
|  Google doc?

Thank you!   Yes, it's 90% as good which is probably enough. Can you put them in a specified order rather than alphabetical?  (Having "Class and instance decls" so far from "Types" is odd.)

TypeApplications has nothing to do with Patterns.

Why is DeriveGeneric under "Misc" rather than "Deriving"?

What is the difference between "Other" and "Misc"?

Simon

|  I gave this a shot. My scripts now parse GHC head's `docs/` folder to
|  understand which topic an extension belongs to, using the same headers
|  that you see on
|  https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fghc.

|  which tries to mimick Simons manual Google doc.
|  
|  Parsing this additional data also allowed me to link to the GHC HEAD's
|  version of the documentation, which means less dead links and in some
|  cases much improved description.
|  
|  Simon, is this sufficient that it can replace manually maintaining the
|  Google doc?
|  
|  Cheers,
