Contributing to the Amber docs

[Brian Goetz]

The eg-drafts folder exists as a place for attachments to the EG list, 
for things that can't be represented as inline text (e.g., PDF files, 
images.)

I think one of the reasons you've had trouble getting feedback is that 
you are presenting *solutions* before presenting a clear explanation of 
the problem you are trying to solve, and then getting caught up in the 
surface details of the solution. First, you need to convince people 
there is a problem; then you need to convince them that its a problem 
that needs to be solved in the language; only then can you start to 
explore potential solutions (usually not just one) in the language.
