Hey! Let's bounce off this note and Max's "energy" questions, to work
out how we can do a better job of attracting developers and keeping them.

I think we need to target Haskellers.  Maybe a good informal (if cheesy)
poll to take on the Haskell Café is to have them complete this sentence:

  I would contribute to darcs if only...

We'd most interested in answers other than (a) I had more time and (b)
it was written in something other than Haskell.

Maybe another fun project to get people excited is to start a Haskell
implementation of git with the goal of having it perform as good or
better than the original.  This would prove to people that our
performance issues are not due to Haskell, and it would generate some
code to share with darcs.
