On this note, there is a request for discussion of a comp.lang.haskell.
Comments are invited from users of the Haskell mailing lists in that news.groups thread.
I visited the thread but will reply here...my understanding of original intention for creating web-forums, was/is to help haskell community to get alternative to the present situation making it more comfortable for new users. otoh, having comp.lang.haskell, imho, just invites more trolls and does not serve the original purpose, or let's say, what is the advantage of having comp.lang.haskell over present mailing lists? There was also initiative in the past to have haskell.org site built with eg. Drupal to build stronger community, so I don't see how comp.lang.haskell can help in that matter. Sincerely, Gour p.s. Pls. excuse me for increasing the traffic on haskell@haskell.org.
