Date: 10 Oct 90 21:42:41 GMT From: hagerman@o.gp.cs.cmu.edu (John Hagerman) Organization: Carnegie Mellon University P.S. So is this now the correct group in which to advance for discussion suggested improvements to G++? If a consensus is reached, how should the suggestion be forwarded to the developer? -- hagerman@ece.cmu.edu If you have a simple suggestion for an improvement, just send it to bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu (aka newsgroup gnu.g++.bug). It will help if you also include working code. Code proves your idea out and will increase the chance that your idea will be adopted sooner. Be careful about free-ranging discussions. If the volume on this list gets too high, people (too often the most qualified to help) will stop reading it. If you feel an idea will need a lot of discussion, it would be best to ask people to e-mail you their thoughts, and conduct the discussion via e-mail outside this list. In effect, setting up a short-term temporary mailing list. When the group has come to a consensus, send a report into bug-g++. If the idea changes enough to need input from more people, you can post a summary of what's happened, and ask if anyone else wants to join in via e-mail outside this list. thanx -len (aka help-g++-request@prep.ai.mit.edu)
