Dear Malcolm, What is the current status of Haskell Prime, as far as you know? (Is there a better way to reach the Haskell Prime committee than just emailing the chair?) We have a few volunteers here looking to keep Haskell Prime moving forward, and Simon suggested following the tracks of earlier pioneers and resuming/joining where they left off.
