Dear Prof. Yorgey, Not something very big, but if someone wants to get hands on working with Parsec I started developing a library to work with motion capture (MoCap) data. I need to parse MoCap data for my bachelor's thesis [1] so I decided to do it in a way that might benefit others. On the

There's the doctest package: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/doctest, which looks pretty good and has a number of users (35 direct reverse deps). It has support for cabal test integration, although I would like to see better integration with other test tools. But that can be added in the test

The problem with all of these suggestions is that they start from no code. I believe Brent is looking for an *existing* project which needs contributions. I assume so that beginning Haskellers can learn real code style in the middle to large, and get input from existing community members. Kris

Hi Brent, hledger is an existing project whose purpose, code and installation process is relatively simple. I'm happy to do a bit of mentoring. If this sounds suitable, I can suggest some easy fixes or enhancements, eg: ...hmm. In fact nothing on my long wishlist[1][2] looks all that quick.
