You could link to the recent paper about the parallel GC, it has plenty of information about the architecture of the GC (not just relevant to parallel GC): http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/bib/parallel-gc-08_abstract.html Also, you probably want to link your new page from http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC. Cheers, Simon

i scanned it and it looks as more advanced reading. basically, i plan to make a "tutorial" version of basic 1993 paper plus add practical information as we talked in May one thing that isn't so good is that we lack a library of GHC-related papers. ideally, i just have to add a link to some GHC/Papers#GC that contains everything ever published about this topic. but now we have the following SPJ page (that don't yet mention paper above): http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/papers.html#gc and papers on your page that are sorted by date rather than topic i'm interested what people think about establishing GHC-related papers wiki page? it will allow to bring together papers from you, SPJ and other authors, carefully split it to topics and add more commentary without disturbing you. OTOH, it may be a waste of time since we will find not much outside of Simon&Simon pages -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

As usual, the hierarchical organisation has reached its limits, and a tag based categorisation would be more useful.. Also, generating the wiki pages from a BibTeX file, or database, for easy maintenance/referencing, would help. A long time ago, I wrote a Perl script to generate a hierarchical HTML index from BibTeX, by simply copying each entry to every category it mentioned in a tag list - these days, one would write that in Haskell, but there are online tools for similar jobs, such as citeulike.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citeulike So you could try selecting the references you're interested in and give them a tag that makes them easier to find http://www.citeulike.org/search/all?q=ghc+garbage has some hits, but is far from unambiguous.
