Future of FPComplete Haskell Center (IDE)
FPComplete is deprecating Haskell Center and removing support for their hosted IDE at the end of the year. I enjoy using the IDE in many situations and would like to have a similar capability available to the community. I know several people have expressed interest in helping maintain a version that can go on. Michael Snoyman has stated that there are some issues with the existing codebase and that there are many things that can/should be improved. There are some limitations due to NDA, but I believe FPComplete would be willing to hand over much of the codebase. I intend this thread to bring together those people interested in helping with this effort in any way. Personally, I would be willing to provide limited hosting and some development support. My goals would be to upgrade support to 8.x GHC, latest Stackage - LTS and create a path for people to self-host the IDE. -Tom Bereknyei
I would ultimately like to see ghcjs running entirely in the browser,
converting hs projects to js that can be run right there in the browser.
That way nobody would need to host the build service. I imagine we're still
quite a long way from accomplishing that.

Hi Thomas,
I will collaborate on that since definitively a cloud development
environment has not been appreciated as much as it deserve since all of us
are accustomed to the desktop single user programming with "punctuated"
collaboration. But I`m sure that the young developers will be more willing
to develop collaboratively in a more fluent way with their tablets and
maybe their phones using a web space.
