|
|
|
|
|
1. Open a [ feature request](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=feature+request)**ticket** on Trac.
|
|
|
1. Write down the **specification** of the feature and create a Wiki [page](proposal) 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). Update the specification as needed.
