Could you maybe tell us what it is that you need with
respect to database interfaces and Java libraries (and where
appropriate where deficiencies are in existing solutions)?
I think, many people here would be happy to help plugging
holes if that makes Haskell more usable, but it is sometimes
a bit difficult for us to see which holes bite users most.
