The ongoing effort to save us as a community from separately implementing the same functionality over and over around IDEs[1] has found a home in the haskell-ide project on github [2]. This mail serves as a call to collaborate for all parties interested in this space. It is still at a very early stage, but the intent is to pool resources so that we can have really good support for IDEs that can extend through the entire tool chain from changes to GHC to better support tooling through the build environment and community information management. This should mean that people who are familiar with a particular part of the chain can focus their efforts there, knowing that the other parts will be covered too. This is a deliberately broad and vague scope, the reality is likely to be much more limited initially, but the sooner we can get started the sooner we will have something concrete to criticise and improve. For those wishing to get involved the following resources currently exist * the haskell-ide mailing list [3] * the github project page [1] * The #haskell-ide channel on IRC Freenode. This is not aimed at some small inner circle of people, anyone who wants to will be added to the project on github, adress your request to me or @hvr. Regards Alan [1] IDE is a loose term for anything that enables a user to interact with the code. [2] https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide [3] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/haskell-ide
