RE: list monad transformer

i would gladly volunteer for the task. in fact i have my own monad transformer library which is very simillar to the ghc one in some respects, and i have been wanting to merge the two together...

how does one go about "owning" a library :-) ?

You volunteer (as you have done), and if there are no objections then you become the maintainer. Since this library resides in CVS, we'd give you CVS write access. Cheers, Simon
