Dear Haskellers,
I would like to take an informal poll for the purposes of darcs recruitment. Could you please complete this sentence for me?
"I would contribute to darcs if only..."
The answers I am most interested in hearing go beyond "... I had more time". For instance, if you are contributing to other Haskell/volunteer projects, why are you contributing more to them, rather than darcs?
It would be useful if some darcs 2 hackers, contributors could help the ghc people evaluate if darcs 2 is still in the running. That would mean identifying the key bugs (eg windows case-insensitive file bugs, slow pulls) and seeing how hard they are to fix. Also doing a test conversion to darcs 2 format and benchmarking some of the key operations described on the ghc evaluation page. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsEvaluation Duncan
