D Change Proposals

[Bruno Medeiros]

Ok, I was thinking of how to improve the way the community manages D 
language feature requests, change proposals, etc., and I have come forth 
with a idea I've mentioned before of using the Wiki to keep track of 
language proposals (called D Change Proposals?).

The point of having a wiki entry is to either help create a final 
proposal (by detailing the different alternatives, etc.) or to simply 
keep track of the status quo of the proposal (what are the issues, the 
possible solutions, what does the community think, what does Walter 
think, etc.)

I have created a wiki template:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DCP_Template
which offers a template for a Change Proposal document, and some 
guidelines for the respective proposal process. Do give your comments, 
thoughts, etc.
Note that the template is mostly a collection of suggestions that I 
wanted to present (and open to collaborative editing). It is not about 
strict adherence, one can use parts of it, variations, etc., In fact as 
you can see, the template is not complete/finished, nor has to be. The 
parts with "?" are more particularly open for comments.

Here is an example DCP:
