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. We might be interested in a wxHaskell frontend for Yi. Can you compare it to gtk2hs a bit? Notably, we get complaints that gtk2hs is hard to install outside of Linux, even though it does run on those platforms. Is the situation better with wxHaskell? Can one embed pango in it? Are there any non-trivial, cross-platform programs out there currently that are using wxHaskell?

What can be done? -----------------

Some of the activities: - Adding new features - Writing sample programs for testing and teaching (for functionality not used in sample programs so far) - Simplifying installation (e.g. creating a wxWidgets binary package with installation program) - Solving bugs - Add/improve descriptions of the wxHaskell API in the source code (include usage samples) - Write a manual, similar to the wxWidgets manual[1] - Trying wxHaskell on Android and other new platforms - Testing - Creating binary packages - Updating the wiki pages

Look at the bug tickets and feature requests[2] for details of some of the things to do.

The GUI is native, not the library; wxHaskell has a native look and feel on each platform, see: http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/samples.html

An extensive comparison is given at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/553317/what-are-the-relative-merits-of-wx... wxHaskell is not easy to install in a Windows environment; that is one of the things that needs work. I don't know if Pango can be embedded.

Are there any non-trivial, cross-platform programs out there currently that are using wxHaskell?

Hi Vasili, Nomyx (www.nomyx.org) is a unique game made in Haskell, still under active developement! There is a demo game running (see the web site).

Cheers, Corentin

I have created a HaskellWiki page[0] for this, and added a link from the FAQ page[1].
