Now that the development of the language and the site has slowed and matured a little, there needs to be a more deliberate mechanism for language development. We're moving some portions of the language development discussions back onto the wiki. Here's the procedure:

1. Create a proposal on its own page within the target version namespace (e.g. proposals:1.3:newfeature for a new feature for the version following 1.2)
2. Write out the specification for the new feature as if it were part of the spec.
3. Note all of the foreseen interactions with existing features.
4. Note any open issues left by your proposal.
5. Create and link to a discussion thread in the forum.

Putting a proposal on the wiki (as was done with 1.2 as a whole) gets a lot of attention and helps focus the discussion more than forum threads.
