ANNOUNCE: accentuateus-0.9 (A Haskell implementation of the Accentuate.us API)
Hey everyone, I'm extremely excited to have made my first upload to Hackage (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accentuateus). It is an implementation of the Accentuate.us (http://accentuate.us/) API, which, using statistics, enables people to restore special characters ("diacritics") to otherwise plain text in over 100 languages. I have published it under BSD3 and am hosting it on GitHub (https://github.com/spearhead/hs-accentuateus). Unfortunately, even though I triple checked everything, I managed to mess up the part where it displays the Haddock documentation on Hackage, but I have discussed the overall usage in my the blog post (http://mschade.me/announcing-accentuateus-09-haskell-implementa) and in the README. I would love any feedback you guys have (though I understand that may need to be moved to blog comments or haskell-cafe). I have other Haskell projects underway, but I figured this would be a nice one to be a first release so that I can get some good feedback and improve both it and future projects. Thanks!

Congratulations! Sounds useful.

You didn't mess anything up. To minimize load on the hackage server, haddock documentation for uploaded packages is only built every few hours or so. Your Haddock documentation will show up on Hackage shortly! -Brent

Brent: Aha! I'm glad it was just a matter of me not being patient enough :) On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 5:29 AM, Martijn van Steenbergen <martijn@van.steenbergen.nl> wrote:
It's probably a good idea to export the Lang and Locale types, especially because you use them as types for input parameters of some of your exported functions.
Martijn: Wonderful, thanks for the feedback, hadn't thought of those two types! I've received some feedback via reddit and direct email, including Martijn's export suggestion and the need for slightly friendlier responses in the face of errors, and have gone ahead and updated the package to accentuateus-0.9.1: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accentuateus Thanks for the feedback everyone, whether on the list or otherwise! This is precisely why I love the Haskell community :) Michael
