Is there a reason that the Haskell 2010 report is in a subdirectory of haskell.org/onlinereport (which currently points to the Haskell98 standard)? http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/ -- Haskell98 http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/ -- Haskell2010 If it's for historical reasons - because books etc. use this URL for the 98 standard, then I'd highly recommend making a new directory called "currentreport" or something (if there isn't one already). The current impression that we give is that Haskell98 is the current standard, and Haskell2010 isn't compiler-supported. amindfv / Tom

Indeed, but yesterday there was a post on beginners where the OP said they
didn't want to use extensions, just plain Haskell98. I thought, shouldn't that be Haskel2010?

IMO, a book author should expect that an URL like http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/ could change to point to a new version, since it doesn't mention a version number or date anywhere. The most sensible directory structure would be: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/ http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell98 http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010 Where the onlinereport/index.html says something like: Latest version: * <haskell2010> Previous versions: * <haskell98> Twan
