I'm planning on applying for the Google Summer of Code and the more I think about it, the more excited I am over a Haskell reddit-alike[1]. I'm interested in web programming, Haskell, and reddit (being an addict for some years now). There's plenty of work to be done on such a project, there are existing code bases to help along with ideas, and it doesn't require the deepest knowledge of Haskell or, say, GHC's guts (not that I don't find those interesting, I'm just no expert). The hang-up I see is that there's not too much of an immediate community benefit if reddit already exists (which, I have on good authority, it does), other than in the interest of eating (or customizing) your own dog food. Any members of the Haskell community (more involved than I am) care to comment? Would the project be useful or otherwise good as a Summer of Code idea? If people don't get too sick of my pestering, I'm also considering opening it up as a ticket on the trac to see if it gets feedback there. Thanks!
