Michael,

You and I were talking earlier this week about the reliability of the
infrastructure of Haskell.org and Hackage.

As I understand it, although the uptime of these systems is far better
than it was two years ago, they are still not available reliably
enough for you to be able to offer them to FP Complete’s customers.
You’d be willing to offer sysadmin support, or other support, if these
things could be fixed.

I talked to Austin, who leads the Haskell Infrastructure Team (cc’d),
a group of volunteers who together manage the infrastructure of both
haskell.org and Hackage.  He says he would welcome a conversation with
you about this.  He’d like to understand better exactly what problems
you and your customers are experiencing.  He says that any sysadmin
help you or FP Complete feel able to give would be fantastic.  Austin
himself has plans for how he’d like to see the infrastructure develop.

You were clear that you aren’t expecting a spare-time volunteer group
to run a commercial-quality service; rather, you want to partner with
the infrastructure group to build and support a service that serves
both commercial users and the open-source community.  This willingness
to work with the community is one of FP Complete’s particular
strengths – thank you.

Do please keep me in the loop.

Thanks

Simon
