If you don't know, I'd go with 3. Or maybe post a link to the DIP draft you have published at Github so you can edit it. Then, depending on how it goes, you can follow on with 1. or 4. | |||

I can't remember for sure whether there was a rule about language maintainer submitting a DIP. | |||

I think you should post it, unless you feel you haven't worked on it enough and would like some feedback for wording/examples to be presented before formally putting it through the DIP process, then you can just post here as DIP xyzw | |||

If you don't know, I'd go with 3. Or maybe post a link to the DIP draft you have published at Github so you can edit it. If the DIP is complete I think it's usually best to submit the DIP with a pull request so reviewers can check there's no issues with clarity/definition. Then when it's in a state for initial review the forum can comment on the design. When people want input on design decisions before completing a DIP then it gets discussed here first. | |||

This gets my vote. I think we should just drop the rule that you can't author your own DIPs. Its only impact has been that your DIPs have stalled.
I'm planning to modify the DIP process in the new year. Dropping this rule is a change I was considering, so let's just go ahead and do it.
And for the record, one change I've already decided on is that I'm eliminating the Final Review round. A DIP can still have multiple rounds of Community Review if it goes through significant revision, but once the CR is done, it will now go straight to Formal Assessment.

 Posted in reply to Walter Bright | I'm pretty eager to see this DIP. After doing work on writing up value type exceptions, I have a number of suggestions on improving a more generalized form of sum types :) | |||

I would love to read the DIP, so i vote for 1., 3. works too, 2. works too but i think discussing about it before and reading what others think about it is important
