as was pointed out on the programming reddit [1], crawling of the haskell wiki is forbidden, since http://www.haskell.org/robots.txt contains User-agent: * Disallow: /haskellwiki/ and indeed, a google search gives the old wiki http://www.google.ch/search?q=haskell+wiki i.e. http://haskell.org/hawiki/FrontPage rather than http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell in other words, it seems like the most relevant search engines do not index the haskell wiki. i have reported this on #haskell about a week ago[2], and this setting was acknowledged to be a measure deliberately taken to curb excessive load from spiders crawling the wiki. i still believe this a highly harmful stance, and just to make sure that whoever may feel concerned is at least aware of the problem, i am now cross-posting to this list as well. kind regards, v.
