Andrey Mokhov, from the University of Newcastle, will be visiting MSR during his sabbatical, starting around 1 Oct.  I’ve suggested to him that working on a Shake-based build system for GHC would be a good project: useful to us, and interesting to him.  Neil is happy to act as adviser, as is Simon Marlow who wrote the current build system.

I’m sure Andrey would be very happy to work with others on this, if you have time and expertise to contribute.  Would you be interested?
