How do I make a new proposal?

Do you have an idea but aren’t confident with forming a proper proposal? You may open an issue instead.

For those of you who have a solid idea and are comfortable with making a formal proposal, basically just make a PR with the markdown for it. It’s fine to commit and make PRs for drafts and such here but only proposals with the status Final will be reviewed for acceptance into the development plan for Imperial.

For the most part, any valid GFM Markdown will be accepted but keep the following points in mind:

• italics are intended to represent key names (and specialized types) in prose.
• bold indicates a literal string that is meant to be written as-is, such as a keyword.
• underline indicates a named variable to be replaced with something when actually writing MPRL. For instance, an argument to a CLI program like gz file
• CAPS can be used similarly to underline but for when it’s in a code block.
• Please use ```mprl to start code blocks for MPRL, even though GitHub doesn’t (and likely never will) format them. Do not use indentation for any codeblocks.
