I put up a draft page. Feel free to adjust it.
I like the current version better. It is /very/ difficult to pack in such a short paragraph a list of the most important concepts /and/ advertising about how useful all this is. Rather than an advertising front page paragraph, I'd like to have a good introductory page. It should mention all the distinguishing features of Haskell, give a short explanation of the concepts with pointers (links) to more detailed texts (preferably on the wiki), and then go on to give the reader some idea about how and why this is all practically useful, maybe using one or two examples. Some material from the english wikipedia entry for Haskell_(programming_language) could be used as a starting point. However writing such a thing is /difficult/, as it requires deep knowledge as well as good communication skills, and even granted both is still a lot of work to get right. The current introduction page (prominently reachable from the front page) is /not/ a good advertisement for Haskell. To paraphrase C.J.Cherryh, enthusiasm is not a good substitute for a (seasoned) expert. Cheers Ben
