Hello LLVMers!
As you may know the HLSL team has been puttering away at adding HLSL support to Clang. We’ve been working hard to drive this initiative fully publicly, which includes making our development, design and planning process all fully public.
In doing this we’ve found that we’re creating a bunch of dispersed documentation and we’re struggling to organize our issues and workflows without dumping a bunch of things into the main LLVM repository and issues that don’t belong there.
I’d like to request the creation of a wg-hlsl repository under the LLVM GitHub organization to store documentation and issues related to the LLVM HLSL support effort.
We will use this repository to store working group meeting notes (currently stored in Google Docs) and implementation proposal documentation (currently stored in a weird subdirectory of our larger specification repository). We’ll also use this repository to collect work items (issues) that may not result in direct contributions to LLVM but are tasks related to our work (writing documentation, project milestones, etc).
Conceptually this is not different from what has been done in the past for the GitHub - llvm/llvm-iwg: The LLVM Infrastructure Working Group), so I believe it is in line with precedent.
Thanks!
-Chris
