Hi,
sure, it should be no problem talking about this. I have, however, no
experience with cloud-based computing -- I prefer local clusters, where
we have greater control over what is going on. Fortunately, Haskell
provides the "Haskell platform" which should get everyone started.
I regard both my and Ketils libraries as "too unstable" to pre-include
them into a ready-to-use package. "Unstable" here basically means that
we change things too often; though Ketils is already nicely stable. But
if a tool like cabal-dev is available, that is of no big concern anyway.
An idea for big Haskell installations is to proxy hackage. Almost
everything comes from hackage... but feel free to talk about anything
;-)

A pet project
for me has been trying to make the development environment on
CloudBioLinux (http://cloudbiolinux.org/) workable for a wide variety
of different languages.
If you are interested, it would be really helpful to have your
thoughts on libraries and utilities that should be installed by
default. The goal is that if a Haskell coder fired up a
CloudBioLinux instance they would be able to be immediately
productive without a lot of tweaking and installs.
Looking forward to talking more in Vienna,
Brad
