Haskell Communities and Activities Report http://www.haskell.org/communities/
The current plan is to get contributions in by the end of April, and to get the collective report out early next month (*).
I wrote "new suggestions are welcome". Several Haskellers have already contacted me about applications of Haskell (Haskell as a mere tool for someone's work or research) this week, and during these exchanges, two further interesting topics have emerged: 1. Tips, tricks & tutorials It seems that some Haskellers have documented their own hard-won experience to help others. They have been working on web pages, short papers, tours, and tutorials touching on introductory examples of monads&co, giving guided tours and explanations of prelude, libraries & syntax, or tips about programming and resource tuning, even explaining the internals of GHC (scary;), or interpreting Hugs error messages. If you have, or know about such a valuable resource, please send me a link and a brief description. Ultimately, all these things should be linked from the Haskell bookshelf (which is not limited to books:): http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/bookshelf/ but many resources are not yet linked in there (wasn't there some group of pragmatic programmers choosing Haskell as their language to be learned this year? And another group working on a new tutorial?), so we'll have a section on this in the next HC&A Report. 2. Haskell publication overview We already had a preview of the JFP special issue on Haskell last time, but we should make this a permanent section. So, if during the last 6 months, you've finished your Haskell-related thesis, or published your book, or if some Haskell-related conference proceedings have appeared, or you know about any other relevant publications during that period, please let me know. Btw, we don't have good coverage of Haskell research groups yet (apart from those who are covered by reports on their software releases). And if you know Haskellers who are on other lists, but don't read the main list here, please feel free to point them to the report's home page. I'm also trying to contact folks who have released software recently, but please don't wait for me to get round to you. Just send me an email if you're willing to contribute a brief report on your great new tool! Please keep those contact offers and summaries coming!-) Claus PS. I seem to have problems getting answers from some people I've contacted about the report. I hope I'm not in people's kill-files yet, or that I'm running into your anti-spam mechanisms?-) The emails don't bounce, and there's no vacation message either, so if you were expecting me to contact you personally, but haven't heard from me, could you please get in touch? Thanks.
