First off, thank you for taking the time to contribute! 🎉
Here are some suggestions to contributing to this proposal. The pipe operator in JavaScript has a long and twisty history. A lot of issues have already been argued round in round in circles.
Bearing that in mind, please try to read the following before making new issues or comments:
- HISTORY.md: This will give a lot of context behind what’s been happening to the proposal since its creation in 2015.
- The general TC39 Process, which summarizes how TC39’s “consensus” and “Stages” work.
- The guide on contributing to TC39 proposals.
- The TC39 Code of Conduct: It has important information about how we’re all expected to act and what to do when we feel like someone’s conduct does not meet the Code. We all want to maintain a friendly, productive working environment!
- The TC39 How to Give Feedback article.
- The proposal explainer to make sure that it is not already addressed there.
- The TC39 Matrix guide (if you want to chat with TC39 members on Matrix, which is a real-time chat platform).
- If the explainer does not already explain your topic adequately, then please search the GitHub repository’s issues to see if any issues match the topic you had in mind. This proposal is more than four years old, and it is likely that the topic has already been raised and thoroughly discussed.
You can leave a comment on an existing GitHub issue, create a new issue (but really do try to find an existing GitHub issue first), or participate on Matrix.
Please try to keep any existing GitHub issues on their original topic.
We’ve also installed a “floodgate” moderation bot (see issue #231). When a issue gets a huge flood of new comments (i.e., new comments are being created at a very high rate), then the bot will temporarily lock that issue. (The threshold rate is currently set to twelve messages in the same thread in the same sixty minutes.) This doesn’t mean that the automatically locked high-traffic threads will get locked permanently. It just means that the issue’s thread will cool down until a volunteer moderator is able to look at what’s going on.
If you feel that someone’s conduct is not meeting the TC39 Code of Conduct, whether in this GitHub repository or in a TC39 Matrix room, then please follow the Code of Conduct’s directions for reporting the violation, including emailing [email protected].
Thank you again for taking the time to contribute!
