Thank you kindly, Ramana. I have to put quite a lot of work (learning) into Haskell before I would be of any real use, I was simply interested in playing around with snap as one of the avenues of learning. I quite like the philosophy of snap.
I'll certainly be in contact once I can meaningfully contribute (or meaningfully ask questions!). D.
