Hi,

Bradley Lucier has recently worked on "Intervals and Generalized Arrays" (SRFI 231).  
He is looking for a discussion forum to improve the srfi.

The natural place would have been either a Discourse on [scheme.org](http://scheme.org) or [schemers.org](http://schemers.org),  
but since none exist - I suggested we could find a corner of this Discourse to discuss the array proposal.

I am personally interested in the discussion - and have implemented an earlier version of the srfi. [[GitHub - soegaard/srfi-array: Implementation of SRFI 179 - Nonempty Intervals and Generalized Arrays](https://github.com/soegaard/srfi-array) ]

First of all, would it be okay to use this Discourse for the discussion?

And if so, what would be a good way to organize it?  
Perhaps a new category: "Proposals" (and then use an "arrays" tag)?

Sounds good.

I’d suggest starting with a tag

#proposal

It can be converted to a category later if needed

Maybe an "arrays-proposal" tag?

I am thinking it needs to be a tag, that only applies to the discussion on this proposal.

`arrays-proposal` sounds fine to me. Should I just create the tag with a first post?
