The Real Monad Transformer or is Haskell.org hijacked?

It was argued that people avoid Haskell because of terms from Category theory like 'Monad'. This problem can now be solved by a wrapper which presents all the WWW without monads! Start e.g. at http://saxophone.jpberlin.de/MonadTransformer?source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehaskell%2Eorg%2Fhaskellwiki%2FCategory%3AMonad&language=English Of course the tool is written in Haskell, that is, Haskell helps solving problems which only exist because of Haskell. Bug reports and feature requests can be tracked at https://sourceforge.net/projects/parallelweb
The produced content has not changed very much, but the interface is much more friendly now. You can now enter the world of the Real Monad Transformer e.g. at: http://www.haskell.org.monadtransformer.parallelnetz.de/haskellwiki/Category... Good luck! Henning

This is obviously a pun on the HaskellWiki page on monads: Monad - HaskellWiki http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Monad They also seem to have duplicated at least part of the rest of the HaskellWiki. Compare: Haskell - HaskellWiki [their duplication] http://www.haskell.org.monadtransformer.parallelnetz.de/ Haskell - HaskellWiki http://www.haskell.org/ While this doesn't seem to violate the HaskellWiki license (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Copyrights), it would seem problematic if users searching the Web confused their content with the real HaskellWiki content. Perhaps a complaint should be filed with their system administrator? -- Benjamin L. Russell
