Please let us know when the book becomes available through online bookstores... Thanks, Simon and Conrad!

I remained relatively quiet throughout the discussion, as I have not contributed to the Report, but I'm very much relieved. Scheme, too, has a completely free standards document; we do not want to give up ground to them :) Thank you, Simon. ___ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell

Anyway, I am very happy about the result. As someone said, added value, not monopolies :-) And I will buy the book myself, and I will persuade the university library to buy a copy or two too.

Re: The Haskell 98 Report
Hmm, I remained relatively quiet throughout the discussion, as I didn't expect to buy the book version, and my worries about the online version were being addressed by others, but as a Haskell user and (occasional) paper author, I would like to register that CUP's handling of copyrights here is definitely not going unnoticed. >From an author's perspective, I'd love to see more publishers approaching the copyright question on an added-value basis (where a non-exclusive copyright is sufficient because the item will be published timely, in good quality and for a reasonable price - so people will want to buy it, not because they can't get it elsewhere, but because they like what they get!). So, as a small token, I've revised my original plan and will now buy one of the printed versions (I shall also place higher priority on submitting to JFP in the future;-). Let's support forward-looking publishers! Thanks, Simon, and thanks, Conrad Guettler & CUP!

The Haskell 98 Report
John I'd like to update the Haskell 98 report to fix all the accumulated typos. But before I do that I want to put the Report under CVS somewhere. One possibility is to add it to the same repository that holds GHC and Hugs (but as a separate CVS module of course). That respository is already called cvs.haskell.org. Is that OK with you? I'm ccing the Haskell list to advertise my intentions and to see if anyone object/has a better idea. [Jeff: if everyone agrees, could you add such a module?] Simon
