Welcome Haskell Mode users, Haskell Mode progress report for January 2016. For previous issue see December 2015 https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-December-.... Reddit discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/441ukg/month_in_haskell_mode_janua... . https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-January-2...What is Haskell Mode? Haskell Mode is an umbrella project for multiple Emacs tools for efficient Haskell development. Haskell Mode is an open source project developed by a group of volunteers constantly looking for contributions. For more information how to help see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-January-2...Important developments Haskell Mode 2015 retrospective https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Haskell-Mode-2015-retrospective was published. Emacs 23 support was dropped. Last stable haskell-mode release that supports Emacs 23 is haskell-mode version 13.18 https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/releases/tag/v13.18. We have added code coverage reporting and it already helped to nail down some missing cases in our test suite for indentation and font locking. We are currently at 30% coverage. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-January-2... Request Haskell Mode web presence is none at this point. I'd like to ask a volunteer to create a static web page deployed on github pages that will serve as Haskell Mode home page. Any takers? https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-January-2...Current project focus Current project focus is to lower entry barrier for newcomers by defining bite-sized tasks. Get 50 'well-defined-tasks' done as by the metric: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... A 'well-defined-task' is a category of tasks that have the field cleared for them, questions already sorted out and detailed information how to get them done. So you can just sit, search for 'well-defined-task' label and enjoy the coding! The point is to lower the entry barrier for new users, new issue reporters and advanced programmers but Emacs lisp beginners to contribute to the project. Current status: 14 well-defined-tasks closed https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... plus 13 more open https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... .
