My idea was that a library was to be discussed ("reviewed") on this list before it was included in the stable repository, so that duplication of code can be avoided.

Peer reviewing of libraries is a good idea, and I'd like to see us doing more of that for the libraries in general. I think I'm proposing that if there's a review process, that it be adopted consistently rather than just for the haskell-libs project. Would you (Peter, or anyone else) like to put together a proposal for how this might work? Something that can be included in the library document would be ideal. Cheers, Simon
