JH> Clearly, lots of people are interested in this! some more thoughts: if this survey will become permanent, it will can - and even need - to become larger. someone can log in, answer several questions, logout, then answer next several questions on next day and so on i don't know what will say about this idea GHC team, but my first candidate to including in this "permanent survey" is obvious - the GHC survey we are filled in March. i also more like it's organization - several variants of answers and free-form fields for comments moreover, it will be interseting if anyone will have ability to add not only new answer variants, but new questions and even whole new categories and sub-categories. so, one day Simon itself can log in, add "GHC" section, "features" subsection, "optimization" sub-subsection and write several questions in this sub-subsection. next day i will log in and add section "My SuperLib" and ask what i want. third day John will publish his proposal about hyper-classes and give us hyper-link to place where we immediately can vote for or against this proposal it will be like magic. and tommorrow all wiki systems will add this feature to their abilities :) one feature i found interesting on www.ruby-lang.org site is regular polls about adding new features to the language. i think that by establishing user-extensible questionnaire with permanent database we can go even further and make possible to everyone easily gather opinions about everything related to Haskell -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
