I'd suggest focusing on core Haskell infrastructure, like compilers and tools, rather than individual libraries -- though it all depends on who wants to come along.
So, at least as an initial listing, we'd need to have a listing of: 1) Who's interested 2) What dates are good 3) What projects people want to work on 4) Where we can host this
You'll also want to consider how a proposed OzHaskell might align and/or combine with other events such as SAPLING[1] and fp-syd[2]. There is also the ICFP programming contest in a few months that many people will be interested in... Hosting is not a problem. If people want to come to Sydney then I'm sure we can organise a room at UNSW. Ben.
