I think this just shows how familiar many of us are with this process.

It’s fun and challenging coming up with the great ideas…but someone has to 
implement it. It may not be fun…and it may be very time consuming.

I think a lot of us just expected the core team to implement these all…but they 
really need help from the community to save them time and sanity with trying to 
get all of this done.


To me this means I need to familiarize myself with the swift code base even 
more. I need to understand all the GitHub processes to get a change implemented 
and submitted.

I really hope at some point someone can make a primer of the process they went 
through to implement one of these proposals from start to finish. I think this 
could be illuminating for many on this list.

ALSO: I think this is where a forum can help greatly: some of us need a way to 
discuss our implementations and ask for help while we are working on one of 
these proposals. Mailing lists make it very hard to have a general discussion 
where we talk code and ask for help in get detail. It is also much easier for 
others to browse to learn from that conversation.

In short: the swift-evolution process works…but some of us in the community 
need to step up and help a little more other than just proposing things. I 
think the swift team could make this easier with some detailed guides and 
documentation and a forum for better discussions when trying to implement these 
things…but I know they are insanely busy. I do think some time investment in 
this area will pay off in the future…and quickly.
