indeed. That approach seems like the most likely to be successful within the scope of a single summer.

That said, this does raise the question of what needs to be fixed up / added to the  haddock grammar to 
a) make it a rich target for pandoc
b) make sure the augmented haddock grammar is human friendly and we can give helpful syntax errors etc.

Whats the status of this proposal for this years GSOC? Done well / right, it'd be super valuable for the community

With a reader and write module for new Haddock, you should be able to
write LaTeX and convert that to Haddock and vice-versa. Some kind of
Markdown was requested by popular demand but if we end up going the
Pandoc way, we'll end up getting the plethora of already supported
formats basically for free.
