1. Write down the **specification** of the feature and create a Wiki page for it. Specifying before implementing is obviously a good idea; and it makes it possible for others to comment on your design before you invest heavily in building the feature.
|
|
|
|
1. Get **feedback** by emailing a suitable list (`ghc-devs` for nitty-gritty GHC internals, `glasgow-haskell-users` for user-visible features). Often you'll get useful ideas.

1. Follow the instructions for **[contributing a patch](working-conventions/fixing-bugs)**.
|
|
|
|
1. Include updates to the **user manual** that documents your feature (`docs/users_guide/*`).
|
|
|
|
1. Add a section to the latest **release notes** (`docs/users_guide/7.12.1-notes.xml`).
