Well I for one would suggest that it is better to announce the list first, before making decisions. The alternative is for us to have a long discussion, then immediately after announcing the list, to have the whole discussion again, when new people disagree with all the decisions that have already been taken. :-)
OK, maybe it's just as well to announce it then. What does Armin think?
I think the announcement should go out now as we don't want to exclude anyone who could be interested. We're not doing this for ourselves, but for the Haskell community, so implementors, library programmers, library users etc. should get a chance to give their opinion.
Here's a first shot at an announcement:

What do you think? Is something like this good enough and what we'd like to say?
Sounds good, I like that announcement and it says what it should say. You can put my name below it. Regards, Armin
