Is there an issue tracker for Haskell Platform? Some issues go onto the Haskell Wiki, some go into the GHC trac as "not GHC", but the general impression is one of disorganised chaos (everything managed by mailing list discussions).

Yes. http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/

Where do you think this needs to be advertised so that people know where to go to report things? It's already linked from the platform download page, and the platform page on the haskell wiki. Duncan

I meant an issue tracker for library proposals, trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ seems to be a tracker for bugs in the platform release, and for the steering committee to track proposals which have already been accepted (ordinary mortals can't add tickets).

The process is documented here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submissions It says to use the GHC trac and as far as I know that is indeed what happens. I've not seen ones in the Haskell wiki instead. Duncan

How does http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library_submission compare to http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/AddingPackages? Trying to add anything to the trac (including clicking the link on the HP homepage) tells me that TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation.

Library_submissions is for vetting changes to the Base libraries / libraries distributed with GHC. AddingPackages is for proposing additions to the Platform.

You need to log in. There is a link to register. http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/register Duncan
