I agree.  If it's not on Hackage, how will the community find it, install
it, and otherwise learn about it?

Why don't you put it on Hackage and set yourself as the maintainer?

I actually have been actively developing and maintaining pappy for a
while as I use it in many of my projects. It has several major
improvements over the original version. (parsing things other than Char,
better type inference, ability to generate stand-alone as well as shared
parsers, bug fixes, etc...)

I've never used the cairo library as it was part of gtk2hs and thus
not on Hackage. Looks like it's on Hackage now as of last may. I'll
take a look next time I want to do graphics. I imagine it's faster.

Just out of curiosity, why do you use gd instead of cairo?

[Haskell-cafe] Maintainer wanted for pappy

2010-08-17 Thread Christopher Done
Hi,

I thought I'd go through my uploaded Hackage packages and decide which
ones I am going to maintain, which are worth others maintaining, and
which are probably not worth maintaining (spoiler, most aren't).

1. Interested in and will continue maintaining:
gd, higherorder, cgi-utils, fastcgi, ircbouncer

For gd, cgi-utils, fastcgi, ircbouncer I'd like to write test cases
and do some profiling and general proper quality assurance. For the
rest...

2. Not really interested in maintaining, but in a good state and
probably worth maintaining:
pappy (Bryan Ford gave me permission to upload and for someone to maintain this)

3. Not interested in maintaining, but in a good state, not worth maintaining:
kibro, blogination, simplesmtpclient (this has been usurped by
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsmtpclient (same author))

4. Not interested in maintaining, in a bad state (i.e. build failure):
validate, lojban, goa, wordcloud

The build failure ones and ones not worth maintaining are probably
best being taken out back.

What do we do with packages we're not interested in maintaining
anymore? Gracenotes recommended something like changing the category
to Unmaintained (and on Hackage 2.0, a tag). Good idea for now?

Chars!
