Following a suggestion from Manuel Chakravarty, I will mail a small summary of the current state of affairs in the Haskell Wish List http://marutea.pms.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/wishlist/ on a monthly basis. This is intended as a reminder for the things left to do and a request to the Haskell community to fill those gaps. (Insert your favourite "I want YOU" picture with Uncle Sam here ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Current specification status None: * Meta programming library * Categorial Prelude with Arrows * Pipes to external processes * Documentation of standard Haskell libraries * Improve I/O library Under Development: * Haskell Execution Platform * mixfix syntax * FFI library Finished: * Missing select in Posix * File positioning * Redirecting output * Binary I/O * Completion of Hugs' IO module * Port NHC's debugger to GHC * Posix library for Hugs * Syntactic sugar for arrows -------------------------------------------------- Current implementation status None: * Meta programming library * Categorial Prelude with Arrows * Pipes to external processes * Binary I/O * Completion of Hugs' IO module * Port NHC's debugger to GHC * Haskell Execution Platform * Posix library for Hugs * Documentation of standard Haskell libraries * Improve I/O library * Syntactic sugar for arrows * mixfix syntax Under Development: * FFI library Finished: * Missing select in Posix * File positioning * Redirecting output -------------------------------------------------- Changes in the last month: Well, it's the first month of the wish list, so everything changed by definition... :-) Cheers, Santa P.S.: Some day the Wish List will move to haskell.org, but at the moment my connection to it reminds me of those good old 300baud-days... -- Sven Panne Tel.: +49/89/2178-2235 LMU, Institut fuer Informatik FAX : +49/89/2178-2211 LFE Programmier- und Modellierungssprachen Oettingenstr. 67 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] D-80538 Muenchen http://www.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/~Sven.Panne
