Every Haskell user does this in their own way by use, feedback, uploads
to Hackage, authoring wiki articles or blog articles or simply by
helping people.  The Haskell community has a huge momentum right now and
the language is developed by smart people.

What does /not/ help is a thread like this.  If you want to support the
development of Haskell, don't unsafeCoerce people into making useless
promises.  Instead grab your web browser, text editor or whiteboard and
do your part!


Greets,

Indeed Ertugul, that's exactly what I mean.
