How can I join the group?

by asking any of the current members :) I've added you.

P.S. I've attached a simple image for the Gravatar if it looks okay.

As per recent discussions, I'm making a list of volunteers who are willing to pick up some slack in Hackage package maintenance, so that we can submit an amendment to the Haskell Prime Committee's ticket 113 (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/113)

I think that showing that people are willing to pick up missing package maintainer's slack will alleviate the concern of breaking lots of code by refactoring the monad/applicative/functor hierarchy. Code will be broken, but publicly available packages can be fixed by the community during a "staging" period. To that end, I have made a Google Form to collect some volunteer information. If you are interested in helping, please visit:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1o4B8CEE_42u9f-sgmu2t5iSEvm0cq6-um6g_fHJt6GE...

For that proposal, there is also an informal github group for updating unmaintained packages, which anyone willing is welcome to join:

cheers,

Conrad.
