If I understand correctly, Darrin is looking for a resource explaining
the notation used in the paper by Meijer et al. But thanks for the
mirror. : )
Although I don't think this will have everything, you can try this one:
http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/jeremy.gibbons/publications/#nzfpdc-squiggol
If you check the website of the authors (of the Bananas paper), one of
them has some lecture notes with some useful information too.

i think, you are looking for this paper: "Functional programming with bananas, lenses, envelopes and barbed wire" http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/meijer91functional.html
atm, the link is broken or server offline. so here is another reference... http://doc.utwente.nl/56289/
the paper is pretty cool, but it has nothing to do with arrows, monads or haskell-arrows. for those, i don't know any paper.

I have a trip coming up and might have some reading time. I was hoping to get through some of the classics, bananas and lenses, the essence, etc.
So I have a few questions:
Bananas and lenses et. al. uses some notation that I don't understand right out of the gate. Is there a good primer on whatever that brand of double bars and arrows means?
The essense of functional programming looks good, I could understand it when I skimmed it but can I print it out on US letter? The PDF at citeseer was aligned badly. (Essece seemed like a fabulous intro or chapter 2 on getting used to monads. Better than most stuff on the web. Funny that...)
I'm also interested in FRP as it might relate to web programming. Anyone have a recommendation?
