Hehe, Mostly, at the moment, as I mentioned to Deech, what is holding me up is trying to get HWN and 7 classes worth of finals and papers done. This is the last two weeks of my last semester, but it should be all done soon. I hope to get HWN out shortly after it's all finished up. I shall return! /Joe On Apr 26, 2010, at 7:54 PM, Ivan Miljenovic wrote:

Hi all, I haven't seen a "Haskell Weekly News" in a while. Is there anything I can do to help?

My guess is do John's marking, etc. for him so that he has some time to do the HWN!

We also want him to avoid this situation: http://ro-che.info/ccc/06.html :p

Most certainly, the HWN is easy to put together, it's just a little time consuming, the weekly schedule is just enough under a normal 40- hour courseload. When that number jumps into the high billions (as it did this last semester), it becomes someone more difficult to fit in. HWN will always be HWN, at least as long as I can keep it that way. :D /Joe On Apr 26, 2010, at 8:17 PM, Ivan Miljenovic wrote:

As long as you don't end up copying the Gentoo situation where the Gentoo Weekly News died, was resurrected (not sure how many times), was converted to the Gentoo Monthly News to make it simpler, and then became the Gentoo Never News (hey, GNN sounds kinda catchy, though not as good as CNNNN :p).

Don't be silly, you don't need more time, you need more _you_ (i.e. clones); after all, nothing ever goes wrong with clones! :p -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Don't want to dismiss your comment but about clones and time machines, the only good source of information is their creators, Kelvin and Hobbes.

You mean Calvin? Anyway, the transmogrifier was _much_ better! -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

I haven't seen HWN in a while. If there is still community interest, how can we help you with this? -deech On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 2:45 AM, Joe Fredette wrote:

While I would not be opposed to being paid, I don't think it's at all necessary or even really appropriate. I liken the job to volunteering at a local community action group -- not really the kind of thing you get paid for.

One more week...

Maybe Flattr http://flattr.com/ fits the bill concerning monetary appreciation. Regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
