Sure. I'm also pretty new to Haskell & ghc concerned to see Haskell used by more programmers. Applications like darcs are very important enabling newcomers to see some concrete & succesful non-academia-open-source project. Besides that, seeing the progress of projects working on the binding for gui-libraries (wxhaskell & gtk2hs) are VERY encouraging giving me hope that my investment in learning Haskell can be worthwile i.e. one is able to put together 'full-blown' application with gui interface. However, these projects are mostly done by few individuals working hard and there is also "A Bus Hits Simon Peyton Jones" problem referred during the CUFP workshop. Any idea how to make a (more organize) community effort to bring Haskell out? Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD
