Hi all,
Following up on the extensive discussions since January, many of us would like to put in place a process to improve LLVM’s decision making process for contentious issues. I’ve put together a proposal for how this works, and am recursively using it to get feedback on the process itself. Thank you to the many people who contributed great ideas and improvements during the pitch phases and early drafts of the doc.
Because this is a weird case, I’m not setting up the standard review manager team for this. We’ll wing it, and if it doesn’t work out, we can try again.
-Chris

Hello LLVM community,
The review of "Introduce a new LLVM process to resolve contentious decisions" begins now and runs through June 12, 2020. The proposal is available online <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-www/blob/master/proposals/LP0001-LLVMDecisionMaking.md>.
Feedback is an important part of the LLVM Proposal process. All review feedback should be either on this forum thread or, if you would like to keep your feedback private, directly to one of the review managers.
What goes into a review?
The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of LLVM. When writing your response, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:
- What is your evaluation of the proposal? What positive or negative implications would accepting this have?
- Do you have experience from other communities that relates to this issue and is important to consider?
- How involved have you been in the LLVM project? Frequent contributor, occasional contributor, user of LLVM libraries, user of LLVM-based tools, or other?
- Self Evaluation: How much effort did you put into your review and how knowledgeable are you about this area? For example, a quick reading or an in-depth study?
In addition to your opinion and thoughts, please include any additional framing that may be useful.
Thank you,
Chris Lattner Review Manager
