Currently, however, it is still a bit of a pain to compile larger UHC JS projects, since Cabal support for UHC's different backends is limited. This could be one potential goal for your GSoC project: make it possible to type `cabal configure && cabal build` and find a complete JS application in your dist folder. [..]
I think this would make a nice GSoC project. The scope of the above should be about right, but if you would be done way ahead of time, there are plenty of relevant related things you could work on (e.g., a UHC JS-specific Haskell Platform-like package). If this sounds interesting to you, let me know and I can send you some more detailed information about the UHC JS backend.. As for mentoring, I might be able to help out there, but since the above project would revolve more around Cabal and not so much around the UHC internals, there might be more suitable mentors out there.
This sounds like a great GSoC project to me. Maybe you can add it to the list of project suggestions, Jurriën? http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/report/1 Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
