"Simon Marlow"
I've updated the document at http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/libraries.html to reflect some changes in how the libraries situation is evolving.
The latest version of the libraries document is looking good, and thanks for keeping it rolling Simon. In the section on Portability, bit-wise operations (i.e. Data.Bits) are noted as non-portable, yet as far as I'm aware they are supported by all the implementations now. Would anyone object if I move that bullet item to the section on "extensions that can be assumed portable"? Also, in section 4.4, the allocation of libraries to maintainers is a somewhat rough approximation, I'd say. No doubt we can gradually refine it. For instance, Debug.QuickCheck.* is currently allocated to this mailing list, but I'm sure it should really be under the control of John Hughes and Koen Claessen - I know that they are planning a new release soon. I have never heard of the System.DL library before, and couldn't guess from the name what functionality it aimed to provide. I had to go look at the source code to determine what it does! A definite candidate for clearer naming - I would suggest System.DynamicLinker or something along those lines. Regards, Malcolm
