Drafting a unicode proposal
Could we use the Haskell wiki to draft a Unicode proposal? I know that traditionally this has been more formal committee work, but we could try. I've made a first page: http://www.haskell.org/wiki/wiki?UnicodeIssues There are limitations in this wiki, so it may be an idea to switch to a more featureful wiki.

I've updated the Haskell Source page quite a bit, stealing bits posted by Sven MH and Simon M. http://www.haskell.org/wiki/wiki?UnicodeHaskellSource Have a look and see what you think! -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

I went in and edited it at what must have been about the same time. My edits are still in there. Did I overwrite yours? [I'd send this as private mail except that those of us who rarely use Wiki probably need to know how Wiki resolves such conflicts. And while I'm on the subject of Wiki mechanics, how does one type something like: 1) A numbered item 2) Another numbered item Containing multiple paragraphs fact n = prod [1..n] and some displayed preformatted code. 3) A final numbered item. My best effort (see above page) resulted in the text after the preformatted code being included in the preformatted code _and_ the numbers being reset to 1 after every piece of preformatted code. ] -- Alastair Reid alastair@reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk Reid Consulting (UK) Limited http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/alastair/

Would depend on the wiki. Considering how other things work poorly on the Haskell wiki, I would not be surprised if only one of your changes went through. With PhpWiki as an example, if you edit simultaneously, it will be resolved in a CVS-like manner; the person who presses "Save" last, will not be able to save, but will get a new editing window with the changes merged.
And while I'm on the subject of Wiki mechanics, how does one type something like:
1) A numbered item
2) Another numbered item
Containing multiple paragraphs
fact n = prod [1..n]
and some displayed preformatted code.
3) A final numbered item.

Seems like the Haskell wiki uses the PyWiki wiki. There are better wikis out there, on a GNU/Linux system with Apache I'd recommend PhpWiki. Don't know how easy it would be to port the existing pages though. It seems the links on how to enter stuff on the Haskell wiki has disappeared, here is a link to the PyWiki demo page on the subject: http://www.voght.com/cgi-bin/pywiki-demo?TextFormattingRules Building a wiki in Haskell would be great fun, that page is unfortunately empty along with many other pages on the wiki. http://www.haskell.org/wiki/wiki?HaskellWikiInHaskell -- Martin Norbäck d95mback@dtek.chalmers.se Kapplandsgatan 40 +46 (0)708 26 33 60 S-414 78 GÖTEBORG http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d95mback/ SWEDEN OpenPGP ID: 3FA8580B
