+  <p><b>Decription:</b>
+  Clang diagnostics (warnings and errors) issues to the programmer are a critical
+  feature of the compiler. Great diagnostics can have a signifiant impact on the
+  user experience of the compiler and increase their productivity.
+  </p>
+
+  <p><a href="https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/03/08/usability-improvements-in-gcc-9/">
+  Recent improvements in GCC 9.0</a> show that there is significant headroom to
+  improve diagnostics (and user interactions in general). It would be a very
+  impactful project to survey and identify all the possible improvements to clang
+  on this topic, and start resigning the next generation of our diagnostics.
