I propose swapping out the Data.Time library with this one in GHC 6.6, leaving the old one available as "Time" (in the haskell98 package). Also, I'm going to propose it for inclusion in Haskell'.

Should I create a new package as http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/time ? The source is already in a darcs repository, but it might not be arranged in the right way.

Sure, just add it there. I don't think you have an account on darcs.haskell.org, right? Send me an SSH public key and I'll set you up with one.

I think the documentation would benefit greatly from a list of examples (as has been mentioned before). Anyone like to do this?

I'm not sure of the best way to publish these. Should they just appear in the haddock?

Yes, the Haddock is the best place IMO. Better not to have too many places to put documentation. Cheers, Simon
