It would be useful if some darcs 2 hackers, contributors could help the ghc people evaluate if darcs 2 is still in the running.
This looks like a very easy and low-investement way to get involved. Expanding a bit on this: The page at http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/DarcsTwo asks for people to hammer the hashed and darcs-2 repo formats. While I haven't really had any trouble with the old darcs-1 format, I can still experiment a bit. However, the page looks to be a bit stale, can somebody in the know look over it and update it so that it is current? It'd be nice if there were some suggestions or a 'howto' on how to go about testing. Anyway, I just want to say that I really enjoy using darcs, and in addition to being a really nice and easy to use VCS, it is also a high-profile Haskell project with substantial PR value. If we really want Haskell to fail in attaining its goal of not attaining popularty, darcs is an important piece. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
