| | 8 | Announcing the Haskell' Committee. A few weeks ago, I asked for |
| | 9 | volunteers to help form a committee for an effort to put together the |
| | 10 | next Haskell standard. Our task is broadly defined by our mission |
| | 11 | statement: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Haskell' will be a conservative refinement of Haskell 98. It will |
| | 14 | be the work of this committee to adopt a set of language |
| | 15 | extensions and modifications and to standardize a new set of |
| | 16 | libraries. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | We will strive to only include tried-and-true language |
| | 19 | features. This standard will reflect the realities of developing |
| | 20 | practical applications in the Haskell language. We will work |
| | 21 | closely with the rest of the Haskell community to create this |
| | 22 | standard. |

| | 28 | Your Haskell' Committee is as follows (slightly munged email addresses |
| | 29 | follow): |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | * John Launchbury <john _at_ galois.com> |
| | 32 | * Isaac Jones <ijones _at_ galois.com |
| | 33 | * Autrijus Tang <autrijus _at_ gmail.com> |
| | 34 | * John Meacham <john _at_ repetae.net> |
| | 35 | * Henrik Nilsson <nhn _at_ cs.nott.ac.uk> |
| | 36 | * Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj _at_ microsoft.com> |
| | 37 | * Ravi Nanavati <ravi _at_ bluespec.com> |
| | 38 | * John Goerzen <jgoerzen _at_ complete.org> |
| | 39 | * Ross Paterson <ross _at_ soi.city.ac.uk> |
| | 40 | * Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak _at_ cse.unsw.edu.au> |
| | 41 | * Malcolm Wallace <Malcolm.Wallace _at_ cs.york.ac.uk> |
| | 42 | * Bastiaan Heeren <bastiaan _at_ cs.uu.nl> |
| | 43 | * Simon Marlow" <simonmar _at_ microsoft.com> |
| | 44 | * Andres Loeh <loeh _at_ iai.uni-bonn.de> |
| | 45 | * Don Stewart <dons _at_ cse.unsw.edu.au> |
| | 46 | * Stephanie Weirich <sweirich _at_ cis.upenn.edu> |
| | 47 | * S.J.Thompson <S.J.Thompson _at_ kent.ac.uk> |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | The editors are Isaac Jones and John Launchbury. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | The following resources are provided for the community and the |
| | 52 | committee to perform this work. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | * The Haskell-cafe mailing list for public technical discussion: |
| | 55 | http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | * A Haskell' mailing list, which is read-only for the public, but |
| | 58 | anyone can subscribe to read it, and anyone can access the |
| | 59 | archives. This is only to keep list traffic manageable for the |
| | 60 | committee. Many committee members read haskell-cafe, and Isaac |
| | 61 | will be sure to bring issues from the list to the committee where |
| | 62 | appropriate. You can always email a committee member if you want |
| | 63 | to bring up an issue or make a proposal. If you post to the |
| | 64 | mailing list, it'll be held for moderation, and Isaac may allow it |
| | 65 | through. http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | * A wiki / issue tracking system. This system is publicly readable, |
| | 68 | but again, only committee writable. This is actually just in order |
| | 69 | to keep spam off of the wiki. If you want an account, please email |
| | 70 | Isaac Jones <ijones@galois.com>. |
| | 71 | http://haskell.galois.com/cgi-bin/haskell-prime/trac.cgi/wiki |
| | 72 | FIX: See [ticket:12 ticket on wiki guidlines]. |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | * A darcs code repository for experiments, proposed libraries,and |
| | 75 | complex examples. darcs is a decentralized system, so anyone can use |
| | 76 | it, but patches should be sent to Isaac Jones. |
