What's the procedure for submitting a *language* (not library) proposal?
The only document I can find is [1], which makes scary noises about
being possibly out of date, and deals with library, not language
proposals. (And [2] lacks any instructions whatsoever, besides floating
ideas here first.)

Regardless of the intended audience, please always send to the
lwgchair address (as you did some minutes ago). I agree that the
description on the ISO page could be improved.

Thanks,

Nonetheless Greg's quote is highly recommended as well, actually also
for non-CWG papers.

That being said, sometimes writing a proposal is how you get your
management to send you to a meeting.

Of course, if you are submitting a proposal, you should plan on either
attending the meeting or have a champion at the meeting for it; otherwise,
it is far more likely than not just to languish.

I'm admittedly new to standardization, and while I somewhat agree, I think
that the quoted suggestion is at least a little bit discouraging, as it can
be very difficult to get to meetings depending on your location and/or
financial situation -- my thoughts are to read papers in the mailings and
look at feedback to get a sense of what's expected, and don't be afraid to
submit even if you haven't attended. You can always find someone to
champion your paper or go to the next meeting and get feedback, whether or
not you actually present the proposal, and you can come back again with a
revision if something is lacking. If your proposal gets consensus
immediately, then that's great. If not, your proposal probably won't be
totally dead unless there are serious flaws that cannot be reconciled,
anyway. Attending a meeting before submitting a proposal can be costly and
can delay things too much, especially if you are targeting a deadline (such
as if you'd like something for C++17).

As the least experienced person in this thread, but as someone who wrote a
paper and presented at his first meeting (Kona), I'd suggest writing the
paper and trying to present in Jacksonville, or find a champion. If you
only attend in Jacksonville without a paper, I imagine it'd probably much
harder for you to get to Finland in June (that might be an incorrect
assumption), and the Finland meeting is the cutoff point for new features
for C++17. I don't know what your paper is specifically, but I don't
suggest delaying things. Just be able to accept the increased likely-hood
of a lack of consensus first time around, and don't be discouraged by that.

If you come to the Finland meeting with a C++17-targetting paper and it's the
first time EWG sees that paper, you are wasting your time. If you do the
same thing for Jacksonville, there's a smaller but still a very
significant chance
that you are wasting your time.

For what it's worth, the instructions on isocpp.org may be discouraging, but
they are not meant to be encouraging. The bar for language features is higher
than for library features.

Nevin's comment about finding a champion is spot-on.

So are you saying I shouldn't even bother until after C++17 is out? I'd
like to at least get the process started, even if I don't make C++17; do
you mean that would be counterproductive?

(FWIW, one of the papers is a resurrection of N1420, from way back in
2003(!). I was unable to contact the author or otherwise determine why
it was never accepted. So at least in a sense, Jacksonville wouldn't be
"the first time EWG sees that paper".)

> Nevin's comment about finding a champion is spot-on.

Meaning what? I'd intended to present papers myself. I know publishing
without presenting is not effective; is that what you meant?

High priority will be given for material that revises proposals that have
been reviewed by EWG, we must finish the design work for C++17.
I have high hopes that we can start beyond-C++17 work in Oulu, but I do not
expect we can do such work in Jacksonville, realistically.

Correct, it wouldn't be the first time. However, it would be a new proposal
as far as the pipeline for C++17 is concerned, since it hasn't been in that
pipeline before, and is thus unlikely to get much priority.

Yes. If you can attend a meeting and present your papers yourself, that's fine.
Otherwise, finding a champion is important.

I was about to ask almost the same question. But the 'simpler' case -a LEWG=
 paper.=C2=A0

Both isocpp.org and N3370 are out of date. (isocpp as has dead links)

Assuming I know how to write a paper, and I know about this email list, etc=
, the actual submission step is emailing it to lwgchair? (and not lEwgchair=
 for example?)

Subject: [std-proposals] procedure for submitting *language* proposals?

What's the procedure for submitting a *language* (not library) proposal?
The only document I can find is [1], which makes scary noises about
being possibly out of date, and deals with library, not language
proposals. (And [2] lacks any instructions whatsoever, besides floating
ideas here first.)

I've got a much simpler problem.  I can't find an email address to
submit the proposal I posted on this list for Safe Integer Library.

You first have to request a document number from lwgchair (unless you
write a revision paper and you already have a corresponding P-number).
To realize that you need to provide the following (tentative)
information:

(Planned) title of the proposal
(Planned) audience for the proposal (A non-empty list of working
groups/study groups)
Author name(s)

Once you got the proposal number, finish your paper, add the document
number including the revision number (which is R0 for the first
version), and send it back to lwgchair before the deadline.

Thanks,

- Daniel

As described here,

https://isocpp.org/std/submit-a-proposal

you should send it to the lwgchair address. This address can be found
by navigating to

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/

and send searching for the link named "C++ Standard Library Issues List":

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html

The header of the document provides the email address in the "Reply to" field.

Thanks,

- Daniel
