Reuben Thomas is not a co-author of the Gentle Introduction, although it looks like he's had something to do with the HTML rendering of it. John Peterson would know more about that but I think that he's off-line for awhile. In any case, the non-HTML versions should all be consistent, with Hudak/Fasel/Peterson as authors. I really don't know much about the HTML version, except that it's handy to have on-line :-)

Hello,

the web page under http://haskell.org/tutorial/ says:

        This is the master HTML version of the Gentle Introduction To Haskell,
        version 98.  Revised June, 2000 by Reuben Thomas.

However, the Postscript, gezipped PDF, PDF and DVI versions don't mention Reuben Thomas as co-author and have October 1999 as their date. The downloadable HTML version doesn't mention Reuben Thomas too and has September 28, 1999 as its date.

So what is true? Ist the online version different from the download versions and is the downloadable HTML version different from the other download versions? Did Reuben Thomas modify the tutorial? Which versions do contain his modifications, which not?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
