Got it, thanks. Is there a time when I can hang out on #haskell (or other channel) to get some questions answered? For example, when trying to install cabal itself, running ghc -v --make Setup.lhs -o setup currently fails for me with: Could not find module `System.FilePath': locations searched: System/FilePath.hs System/FilePath.lhs (imported from ./Distribution/Simple.hs) I'm running ghc 6.4.2 - I've found some hints that I should use 6.6.1, but I'm not quite sure of it.

Hi,
I'm just starting learning Haskell (went through a couple of tutorials and wrote simple examples), and I'm looking for a project to help out with. I've been pointed at recent Duncan's request for help - let me know what problems (simple for now) I can work on (Easy Tickets?).
Our big list of tickets is here: (defects grouped by priority)

We're coming up to a release and one thing we'll need to do is make sure all the commands and flags are fully documented in the user guide. This would involve modifying the doc/Cabal.xml docbook file:

Making sure cabal-install compiles with the latest version of Cabal is a priority and should be fairly easy, there have been some api changes. Then it's a matter of testing and seeing what still needs improving.
