Ah yes, so we do!  Excellent.  Maybe add Darren ☺
Also should Martin Foster, David Macek be there?

I’m sure there is a “how to build GHC on Windows” page (indeed there were too 
many at one stage).  But none of them is listed under “Platform-specific 
building notes” on https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building. Would that 
be worth fixing?

Hi Simon,

We do have a page on Trac with the members: 
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WindowsTaskForce

We could add the extra information there.

Regards,
Tamar

One really helpful thing would be to

•         make a wiki home page for the Windows Task Force

•         list who is on it

•         list the main tasks “in flight” and what their status is

•         any other plans
Anything to broaden visibility of the WTF, and encourage others to join in.  
Communication is all in an open-source context!

Thanks for working on Windows… it’s a very popular platform, and needs your 
love!

Simon

To expand on that (let's see if I can do this without accidentally sending 
again, oops!):

Roman, I will get in touch with you on a separate email thread to see if we can 
find an optimal way to coordinate, something that satisfies our schedules and 
needs. Others please feel free to bug me any time by email 
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) or on freenode #ghc as 
dedgrant, PST hours.

In the meantime I'll be auditing some of the related backlogged tickets on 
trac. If there's something I can do to help further the goal of a Windows Task 
Force page, please let me know.


Pleased to meet everyone!

Cheers,
Darren

Resending, since Roman's and Kyril's email addresses were mangled/missing.
