Just for the record, what I said is that I have neither intention nor right to keep you from making it public.

While a graphics library supported on all Haskell systems and running on all platforms is useful, having a whole spectrum of libraries available is the standard mode of operation in almost all programming languages. Any standardised graphics library will be a compromise that is usable only for relatively simple GUIs. Having said this, we started on a standard library a while ago, but not much progress has been made.
