Up to now, the Haskell' effort has been mostly about exploring the possibilities, to find out what could be in Haskell', and to scope out what it might mean. We've now reached the stage where we want to do the opposite, namely trying to pin down what we definitely want to have in the standard, and what it should look like in detail. I've set aside a chunk of my own time this fall to help coordinate the activity, write text etc. I'm hoping that things should be pretty clear by early next year.

I have spoken with CUP and JFP about publishing the standard as a special issue of JFP and as a book, and they are interested. The strawman timeline for that is early next summer.

Hi all,

When I first discovered Haskell' I was really excited to hear that
many of the individual extensions that are already used by many people
are going to be put together to one coherent next release.

I have read the archive of the Haskell Prime Mailing list for all of
2007 as well as a lot of pages on Haskell.org and in the Haskell Prime
Wiki, yet the most recent status report that I found is the one in the
wiki from September 2006.
(http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Status')

Could someone please summarize the current status and planned time
line for Haskell'?

thanks a lot,
Robert
