It's there already, in the GHC tree -- in docs/ext-core, there is the LaTeX source for the original paper (updated by Andrew and myself), and a Makefile for building a .pdf or .ps file. I also have a .pdf copy at http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~tjc/ext-core.pdf that I think is up to date, but it would be nice if there was some connection between the darcs version and the version on the web, in case I or someone else makes more changes. > Of course, an updated Core document would be fantastic!
