Why isn't there a FAQ? (was: Re: [Haskell-cafe] anybody can tell me the pronuncation of "haskell"?)
I thought that the .wav file that Jeremy linked to should go in the Haskell FAQ, if there was one, but it doesn't seem to exist. There's a comp.lang.functional FAQ (that isn't maintained anymore) with a section on Haskell, and a GHC FAQ, but no general Haskell FAQ. A google search for "haskell faq" turns up this as one of the first ten hits: http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell@haskell.org/msg01153.html which is hardly current. So somebody should write one.

We did, albeit not really for this kind of stuff. It's on the old wiki...

Yes, the usual convention for FAQs is for them to be structured as a list of questions, possibly including answers. Cheers, Tim -- Tim Chevalier * http://cs.pdx.edu/~tjc * Often in error, never in doubt "Relax. I'm weird, not violent."--Brad Boesen, _Disturbed_
