GHC's Fall 2018 HCAR submission

Hello everyone, The Haskell Community Activities Report is coming up and I have prepared the skeleton for GHC's contribution [1]. If you have a project cooking or have recently had a patch land do have a look to make sure it's recognized in the submission. Cheers, - Ben https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Oct18

There are some incomplete sentences under "Further improvements to
runtime performance:"
Also, congratulations to Tamar Christina for becoming the new IO manager!
Also, when I copy paste the links in the "At the time of writing"
section, the backslashes in the search query mess it up. Maybe a
markdown rendering step would remove those?

I'm not sure It makes much sense to use {{{...}}} to format the document in the first place. Maybe use normal wiki-text? I can decorate links if this is approved. -- Best, Artem

This is what I have done in the past. However, it is unfortunately quite labor intensive since I need to convert the document to Wiki markup, then back to TeX for submission. Instead with this iteration I have decided to try just writing the thing in Markdown and convert to TeX at the end. I was hoping to install a Trac processor for Markdown rendering but sadly Trac put up resistance. Cheers, - Ben

Hi Ben,
I see. Have you considered using online converting tools like
try-pandoc[1]? Is it still painful?

Ben,
I assume, writing a Pandoc writer for TracWiki shouldn't be that hard.
Would that be of any help?

I do use Pandoc to convert from Markdown to Latex. However, Pandoc does not support Trac's wiki syntax.

Well, there would need to be both a reader and a writer, since we ultimately need to end up with TeX. Indeed having these would help immensely. Cheers, - Ben

What's the deadline for this?
* Under GHC proposals, can you list proposals that are
- Accepted but not yet implemented
- Accepted and implemented in 8.8, but not in 8.6
Thanks

I have sent the division but I suspect it's not too late to amend it if necessary. Cheers, - Ben
