The last time I found a typo on the Haskell Platform website, I opened a pull request to fix it, and it was merged a couple of months later.

Ha, to be honest, it doesn't sound very encouraging :P

I suspect more helping hands would be gratefully accepted.

What do you mean, specifically? Lindsey said she had sent a pull request. What else could she do?

I don't think Brandon was implying that I should have done anything differently -- I think he just meant that the project might benefit from another person to merge pull requests, as evidenced by the fact that it took a while for mine to get merged.

Yes. Or, even more to the point, it's run by volunteers and it is as responsive as the available time from the available volunteers; if you want faster responses, you need more people with more available time to put into it. (Volunteer projects are almost invariably chronically short on manpower to get stuff done.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
