I would love to hear your examples, so that I can try to convert them to FRP style and test my library against them! How about a GUI for darcs?
This would involve a lot of functionality unrelated to GUIs. Could you break it down to a minimal "GUI-only" example that still gets the point across?
What about something that just showed the list of patches for a given repository, which would update when the repository changed? That is deadly simple, but could still be somewhat useful (ie, have it track a relatively central repo, and running on a screen somewhere in the metaphorical office). It would also be wonderful to start on a GUI for darcs, and I could say it might interest _me_ in taking a stab at improving it :) And it might be an example of the kind of open system that was mentioned earlier
