Thanks to those who responded to the message below, about improving the process for developing the core Haskell libraries. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions/NewDraft
I see: "Portability. Good code is portable. In particular, try to ensure the code runs in Hugs and GHC, and on Windows and Linux." I believe Hugs is dead and Mac OS is also an important platform, so apart from testing on multiple platforms (automatically by "validate"?) I wonder what a good portability measure is. Maybe older versus most recent ghc versions, or as few extensions (that just ghc support) as possible (ideally none?). Cheers Christian
