Having cross-package links would be pure awesome. On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Isaac Dupree < ml@isaac.cedarswampstudios.org> wrote:
I'm interested in being a GSoC student, and the Haddock-related tickets looked like a good place to start http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1567 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1568 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1569
... haddock could use some love! And I love documentation.
I think I'd start by hacking on some relatively easy Haddock tickets to find my way around the code and the hacking process. Then it might be time to move into one of the bigger projects (I'm tempted to say #1567, "Haddock: allow documentation to propagate between packages"), depending on priorities; probably still working on some smaller but important Haddock tickets. Then it depends how much time we have left in the summer, there's a lot that can be done!
- I've hacked on the GHC lexing/parsing code a bit, and I know darcs, haskell, etc., and I've been around watching on mailing-lists since before Haddock 2.x, so I feel like I have a fair amount of context with which to approach this project.
What do you think, is this a good project to look towards? What's the next step... should I elaborate my proposal by looking at Haddock tickets and their priorities? But I should have your feedback first; what do the mentors, or the Haskell community, want most to be improved about Haddock?
