Revised DIP Info

[Mike Parker via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Now that I've got a few DIP reviews under my belt, I've got a 
good enough handle on the process to lay it out in documentation 
form. To that end [1], I've kept the general structure that 
Dicebot initially set down, changing the details to better 
reflect my view of how it should all work (I still need to update 
the existing DIPs to reflect a couple of changes). I've also 
revised Dicebot's guidelines on DIP writing [2]. Much of his 
original advice is still there. That document is sure to evolve.

Feedback on all of this is welcome.

While I have your attention, Sebastian recently revived an old 
DIP on in-place struct initialization. I invite everyone to come 
and give feedback on that [3], but *please* read the updated 
README before doing so, particularly the section titled 'Review 
Process' so you can fully understand what's expected of reviews 
at this stage of the process (what I now call the 'Draft Review' 
stage). I haven't looked at it yet, but I expect to do so next 
week.

I still need to review the recent updates to Zach Tollen's 
proposal [4] (Improve Contract Usability), and if all checks out 
I'll be merging it as DIP 1009. You can expect the first review 
round shortly thereafter.
