However, I should mention that the Haskell community has put together a fairly long list of potential projects, many of which are more widely useful than Language.C work. This may mean that it would have a relatively low chance of being accepted. A high-quality proposal would help the odds, however. :)
A high-quality proposal from a student that demonstrates some prior experience, capacity, and knowledge is huge in the decision making process. Motivated students can also turn in more than one proposal, which I would encourage. It can be the case that two talented candidates both applied for the same proposal, or that of a candidate's proposals, one fits much better than the other with what folks are looking to sponsor. Cheers, Sterl.
