FYI, this has a low chance of acceptance, since it benefits few in the Haskell community.
Quite true, the other projects seem to be more useful, so this one isn't worth pursuing (as a gsoc project)?
It didn't get accepted last year, despite a strong candidate, because of its low return to the community.
Forgive my ignorance, but does a "low return to the community" mean that it either is not very useful for say the productivity of a user of xmonad or that it is not interesting to a Haskell programmer?
It doesn't benefit a significant number of Haskell programmers - so Haskell.org is unlikely to fund it. Porting GHC to Arm though, so you can make iphone apps - would benefit them a lot, in contrast (for example)
