I have to second this; I'm a Unix sysadmin, 98% of the time if I'm writing a program it's for Unix *and* requires POSIX APIxs, and even if it could apply to Windows the program needed there would be very significantly different. And we have a Windows group for that.

Wrong Windows group: Duncan doesn't work for us.
Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant a Windows group within the Haskell community, not within your company. Honestly, what I wrote wasn't directed at you. As I mentioned before, writing code as a Unix sysadmin has very different priorities than writing for many other problem domains. Most of your code wouldn't make sense outside a Unix context, whereas bytestrings, tries, or graph libraries would. Cheers, John Lato
