If someone wrote a tour of Data.List/Data.Maybe as well as a few common functions out of Control.Monad that would probably make a nice companion to a tour of the prelude.
Maybe: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Hierarchical_libraries/Maybe Lists: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/List_processing (written from a complete beginners POV, perhaps we need a more summary-like article that involves Cale's fold diagrams). For anything more complex (Maps, Arrays), it becomes impractical to write a 'tour of the library' without duplicating the Haddock docs. However, an introduction to Control.Monad à la the 'Monad implementation' section in All About Monads would make a nice chapter in the wikibook. -- -David House, dmhouse@gmail.com
