There are about 850 people on the haskell list, and about 700 people on haskell-caf�,
and I'm sure that most of the haskell-caf� members are also haskell members.
I'm happy to set up and moderate [EMAIL PROTECTED] if there's a general
consensus that this would be a useful thing.
As to whether we should merge haskell and haskell-caf� - personally I wasn't in favour
of the split at the time, but I recall that support was roughly 50/50 in favour.
Unless there's an overwhelming majority in favour of a merge I suggest we leave things
as they are.
Please don't mail the list with "I vote for haskell-announce"-type messages, and
direct follow-up discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Reply-to: is set, I hope).
Cheers,
Simon (with [EMAIL PROTECTED] hat on)
