Hi Fellow Haskellers,

I was just reading at http://www.haskell.org. I am looking for a list of currently active Haskell projects needing help .. :-)

wxHaskell[0] could use your support very well, I hope others will join in as well. wxHaskell can be used for both game and serious software, but could use more support.

What is it? -----------

I hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread a bit for few questions.

wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell. The goal of the project is to provide an industrial strength GUI library for Haskell, but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves.

wxHaskell is therefore built on top of wxWidgets – a comprehensive C++ library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK, Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with the native look-and-feel. The wxHaskell project[0] could use more participants.

I'm a bit confused: you say it's a native GUI library but then say it's built on top of a C++ library. [snip]

I think native in this context refer to the graphical elements being the ones native to the OS, not native as in pure Haskell implementation. Cheers, Thu
