2001-09-18 Thread C.Reinke
Dear fellow Haskellers, the recent (and eternal) questions about GUIs and future Haskell developments are closely related to a general problem: trying to keep up to date with what is going on within the Haskell community as a whole while the breadth of interests in that community keeps expan
