Bryan O'Sullivan, Don Stewart and John Goerzen are pleased, and frankly, very excited to announce that were developing a new book for O'Reilly, on practical Haskell programming. The working title is Real-World Haskell.

A great idea. I guess there will also be some lines about how to write efficient code by using ByteString et. al.?

That is fantastic news to hear. I realise this may be jumping the gun a bit but could you say anything about predicted timelines? Are you starting from a clean slate or have you been squirrelling away lots of material already?

What about a public darcs repository where people can constantly download and review modifications? People could even send patches to the authors (editors?).
