To summarize the recent discussion, here a proposal for a part of the library organization: Graphics Rendering Direct3D FRAN Metapost Inventor Haven OpenGL GL GLU Pan UI FranTk Fudgets GLUT Gtk Motif ObjectIO TkHaskell Format GIF JPEG PNG TIFF HGL X11 Xaw Xlib Xmu Xt System POSIX Files IO Process Win32 A few comments: * As proposed by Alastair, HGL is not artificially split into an UI part and a rendering part. Designing a universal UI<->Rendering API seems a bit over the top IMHO, at least currently. * It's unclear what Graphics.Format is supposed to do exactly. Could somebody explain this? * Whether the POSIX/Win32 hierarchies should be split up on a functional basis or not has already been debated, but I can't see any real consensus here. How should we proceed? * http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/layout.html should be updated, at least as far as there was agreement on the (sub)hierarchies.
