Did you make any progress on this at Anglo-Haskell?

Not really, owing to Microsoft site security ;-) [not that they were being unreasonable, just that it cut me off rather abruptly]. I've started some notes connected with this at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jf15/Haskell-notes/AngloHaskell2009-Not-Talk.xhtml (which as implied is not quite finished), though they are not especially interesting to anyone who simply wants to use the library.

Will it be cabal-ized soon?

That depends on whether anyone wants it done sufficiently strongly to do it... at the moment I'm not motivated to learning how to do it (if I get past all the non-programming stuff on my life to-do list, there are several things on the project's TODO list that come before "Caballise"). After all, if I'm the only person using the library, there's no reason to caballise... granted, that smacks of a self fulfilling prophecy, but I'm led to believe that if someone already knows cabal, it would be the work of moments to do the job, whereas learning it would take significant effort¹ The license would need attention too... in the absence of convincing arguments to the contrary, I would favour GPL myself. [1] And by the time I next wanted to do it, the chances are it would have changed so much (or I would have forgotten it anyway) that I'd have to learn it again. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
