CDR maintenance

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Back in 2013, ECL in Madrid, I remember some discussions about the future of CDR. It would be nice to compare with other similar initiatives such as 

Python : https://www.python.org/dev/peps/
Erlang : http://www.erlang.org/erlang-enhancement-proposals/home

I’ve also tried to see how Haskell and Racket deal with that. I found this https://www.quora.com/Is-there-anything-like-PEP-but-for-Haskell about Racket. Racket seems to use Github issues https://github.com/racket/racket/issues

Is there still a place for CDR? If so, maybe we can simply use the GitHub infrastructure? We may also try to find incentives to CDR submissions? Maybe associating it to short-papers in ECL/ECLM? 

Best,
