ANNOUNCE: Functional Programming Bibliography

I am pleased to announce the Functional Programming Bibliography at http://www.catamorphism.net/ The functional programming bibliography was created in the hope that it will be a useful resource to the functional programming community. The site is still in an early stage of development, and is pretty raw, and incomplete in a number of ways. Keyword categorization, in particular, is still fairly spotty. It currently contains in excess of 1500 references, heavily slanted toward Haskell-related topics, and contains links to publicly available versions of many papers, as well as links to gated versions of some papers. I am eager for suggestions as to how the site could be made more useful. Regards, James Russell

At a quick glance,
+5 Awesome.
Cheers
- Tim

Oh also, I noticed that you say it's powered by Haskell.
Would you mind sharing some of your architectural details as they relate to
Haskell with us?

Not much to it, really. It's a LAMH thing, if you will. The Haskell part just runs as a CGI app, and uses the HDBC, HDBC-mysql, cgi, and xhtml packages, and is just a few hundred lines, including all the html templates which I create with the xhtml package. As for the bibliography stuff, right now I actually maintain a master .bib file and use bibTeX along with a set of custom .bst files to munge everything up to be imported into MySQL.

Interesting. Some time ago I managed a preprints list using a self-made Haskell program, where all entries where stored in a BibTeX file. http://www.math.uni-bremen.de/zetem/DFG-Schwerpunkt/preprints/ Recently I have extracted its BibTeX parsing and generating to: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bibtex

As is traditional, my ISP's spam filter ate this email. *sigh* Anyway, I did a search for "Simon Peyton Jones" and got... zero results. o_O But on further investigation, searching just "Peyton Jones" delivers the expected deluge of hits. Maybe make the searching smarter? (Or just make a small note to search by last name only...) Also, I did a search, changed the sort criteria, and... the previously entered information was not presurved. Hopefully that isn't hard to fix. This resource seems like a nice idea. There are a whole crocload of fascinating papers about GHC and program optimisation out there, but it tends to be a tad time-consuming to track them all down. Hopefully this site will make things significantly easier in that department.

I'll see what I can do about that.

Nope. Fixed it already. It was the first thing on my todo list, but I figured that if I waited to get everything perfect, I would never get it out there at all.
