One issue we have here is that any Haskell we write is stuff we'll probably want to keep using for a while so, although we've only just got most of the bugs out of the H98 report, I'll certainly watch with interest as people come to a consensus about multi-parameter typeclasses, concurrency libraries, etc. and such things start to look very much like they'll be fixed in the next round of standardisation. It's hard to know which are experiments that ultimately will be shunned in favour of something else, and which are just all-round good ideas. (-:
Apart from the mailing lists, there are two forums which are sort of used for this. One is the wiki: http://haskell.org/wiki/wiki?HaskellTwo ...which, as those of us who use it regularly know, is down at the moment. The other is the Haskell Wish List: http://www.pms.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/haskell-wish-list/ ...which has also been down for some time. Clearly whichever malevolent forces are responsible for downtime don't want Haskell to evolve. :-) Cheers, Andrew Bromage
