Beyond our formal rules of engagement, we as a body are picking up various working conventions. These are not rules, but rather ways in which we routinely conduct our business, and it's helpful to write them down -- both as a way of inducting new people into the fold and reminding ourselves how we operate. I've tried to capture some existing conventions and introduce a few new ones in this MR.
Highlights:
internal
(actually already in existence, but unused, at https://gitlab.haskell.org/hf/internal) where we would create lightweight Issues to track a task to be done. We can then perhaps make a deliberate choice to abort a task deemed unnecessary, but it seems less likely we will simply forget.I'm hoping this document grows over time as we establish further working conventions.
Please provide feedback! This was not drafted by a committee and so may contain all manner of errors, both in design and in execution. :)
