So, windows@haskell.org anyone? Get the wiki going, get the set of tasks created.
Isn't the Haskell Platform going to do all this? Shouldn't interested people just help out there?
The platform is a set of blessed libraries and tools. The distros will still need to package that.
To do that for Windows, we're still going to need a windows packaging team, along side Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Mac etc.
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Platform section 4 talks about making distributions. So what should people be trying to do? Focus on (a) general infrastructure for packaging any Haskell library/binary on Windows (etc), or on (b) the specific task of packaging the Haskell Platform? If (b) then I don't think a whole new mailing list/wiki etc is worthwhile. (a) would obviously be nicer but is no doubt a much harder problem - I guess we'd want to start with Bamse and perhaps make use of the "nestedInstalls" feature somehow.
