I want to echo some of the sentiments of: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/arch-haskell/2012-August/002126.html (I joined the list after reading that message.) I'm starting out doing Haskell development and am a long-time Arch user, and hence I am keen on keeping Arch Haskell up and running and working towards the all-of-Hackage goal. I think documenting process is a great idea, and I suggest you just go ahead and start pete, e.g. working on the wiki. Keep the mailing list informed, hang out in the IRC channel. I'll help out when and where I can as well. Cheers, Ramana
