Re: Data.* collections maintenance

Hello, I've outlined plans for the collections libraries at http://haskell.org/hawiki/StandardCollectionLibraries I've tried to find a reasonable compromise between the various opinions expressed. Also, what's the current story on moving fptools/libraries to darcs? While I agree with Sven that its not the solution to everything, I would still prefer to use it over cvs. Cheers, JP.
