This catches some common spelling errors, but is *not* an exhaustive spell-checker. The only false positive is "rouge" in Gemfile.lock, which is why I'm excluding that file.
True positives are in the change, and it does catch the "langauge" typo I keep making, which zygoloid fixed for me in a few spots. False negatives are:
- virmc
- Announcemented
- propsal
For comparison:
- cspell (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cspell) is too aggressive and has a small dictionary
- Caught the false negatives, but many false positives, including 'LLVM', 'roadmap', 'Carruth'
- https://github.com/lorenzwalthert/precommit has a spellcheck, but config looks ruby-specific
- Sentence case headers: https://developers.google.com/style/headings
- Remove parentheticals where possible: https://developers.google.com/style/parentheses
- Avoid latin abbreviations: https://developers.google.com/style/abbreviations#dont-use
Also some evolution-specific changes:
- Remove obsolete PDF references
- "decision is to accept the proposal" instead of "decision is to approve the change"
- Adjust review manager actions for accepted/declined/deferred decisions.
- Rephrase arbiter decisions, particularly to avoid 1-0 being considered a "majority".
- I think this was always intended, and does not reflect a substantive change.
The original header was exactly 80-columns which made every file format
with a line-start comment syntax reflow the text. Instead, pick
a canonical re-flowing that keeps it to just three lines. This also lets
the text refer to the project which seems more clear.
No practical or semantic change here, just getting consistent wording
and line breaks for regularity.
CONTRIBUTING.md replaces the mention of Google style guide (which isn't automated) with Prettier (which should do most of the hauling). The rest is the formatter.
