Supporting Haskell.org
by Rebecca Skinner 23 Dec '20

This has been an eventful year for many of us, and haskell.org is no different. This year we've continued to support a significant part of the Haskell community infrastructure- including haskell.org, Hackage, Hoogle, and GHC build infrastructure. We're able to do this thanks to the support of the Haskell community. In addition to our ongoing work maintaining Haskell community infrastructure, we once again participated in the Google Summer of Code this year, supporting 12 projects. You can read more about the projects here: https://summer.haskell.org/news/2020-10-12-final-results.html As many of you are likely aware, this year also saw some of our community successfully launch a new initiative, the Haskell Foundation. We are thrilled for the Haskell Foundation and congratulate them on their successful launch. Haskell.org is an independent organization, and while we welcome any opportunities to collaborate with the Haskell Foundation, we will continue to pursue our mission of managing and supporting Haskell community infrastructure. If you would like to support Haskell.org in our mission, you can donate via several method, including PayPay and check: https://www.haskell.org/donations/ Haskell.org can also accept donations through employers via Benevity using the unique ID 475236502. Haskell.org is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so donations may be tax-deductible in your jurisdiction. Another way to help haskell.org is to serve on the committee. We have three positions opening in 2021, and our call for nominations is open through Jan 7th 2021. Please email the committee at committee(a)haskell.org if you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for a position. We look forward to continuing this work with your support in 2021 as well as exploring new projects to improve the Haskell community infrastructure. Best wishes, Rebecca Skinner on behalf of the haskell.org committee.

How to establish a new mailing list?
by Gueven Bay 01 Dec '20

Hello, I am asking here on the community ML because I think you have the closest connection to the mailing list administrators. I searched and did not find a mailing list for german users of Haskell. Also there is no forum for Haskell devs in German. To establish a German community I want to ask you: What is the process to start a new mailing list on this mail.haskell.org? Of course I would like to (help to) moderate and administer it. The name of the new list should be "haskell-de". thanks.
