Greetings.
I was thinking... we already have Lambdabot sitting in an IRC channel. How hard would it be to mangle Lambdabot to the point where it works over HTTP? You know - so you could type some Haskell into a form on a

I think it might be kinda neat to have such a thing linked from the Haskell.org homepage. You know, sort of "hey, wanna try Haskell without installing any stuff? Click here!"
yeah, we've had this in mind as a base for an online haskell quiz/tutorial series. Perhaps someone would like to make this happen :-) -- Don
