Closing Feature Issues

[MylesBorins]

We currently have, at my count, over 25 open issues for discussion about features. A number of these never developed into a conversation, the remaining conversations have mostly gone stale.

I would like to suggest that we close these issues in order to keep the issue tracker more manageable, and open issues about specific features as we are discussing them

Thoughts?

SGTM, lots of good discussion happened and it seems like it has run its course.

What I’m used to is leaving issues open that are needing to be resolved, as in, if it’s closed it’s not a feature that needs to be implemented. If you don’t mind, before we close feature issues, let’s make a wiki page or Markdown file in the repo that lists all the features we’re trying to support, along with the links to the issues. When I was managing the CoffeeScript 2 project, that’s what we did by moving the features list into the repo README: https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss#implemented-features

[GeoffreyBooth]

I’m happy to volunteer collapsing the features into a list in a Markdown file, with links to each feature’s issue. Is that something we’d want? Should the features list be in its own file in the repo, or as a section of the README?

I think it would be awesome if we close each feature and create a single point of reference as linked list so we can have those handy... Here is a JSON for easier dumping:
