And how do these differ in concept to the RFC process Perl 6 has already
gone through? Wouldn't it make sense, assuming that clean, final
presentations of proposed ideas or features in Perl are useful, to
re-open the RFC process?
RFC's are proposals before the comments. The summaries are, well,
summaries of the comments. My main concern is that Larry, Damian, et al,
are likely to have a hard time reading through all the comments in the
language list (Damian isn't even in the list right now), so the summaries
are a way of letting them cut to the chase on the discussion of each idea.
You are aware the that RFCs went through a revision process, and the
"finalized" RFCs that the Design Team are looking at are supposed to
include the final form of the idea after discussion, and a summary of
what was thought of it? Many of the RFCs weren't written until after
the idea had been discussed.
