See for example some of the projects here: http://wiki.darcs.net/RelatedSoftware#user-interface The most 'fruitful' one (sorry, bad pun) is detailed here: http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/GraphicalInterface#current-projects "There are three students of the BTU Cottbus<http://www.tu-cottbus.de/btu/en.html>working on a new darcs GUI application based on the Grapefruit <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Grapefruit> FRP library. They are supervised by Wolfgang Jeltsch<http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/User:Wolfgang_Jeltsch>. See http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Patchwork for more details." > So I'll try creating an executable being based on the darcs library. > > If that works I'll upload it to hackage and we're done. > You might also like that wxHaskell is on hackage now "cabal install wx" should "just work" if you have the wxwidgets libraries installed. You should look at camp-view for ideas on how to make the GUI match gitk. Here is a video demo of camp-view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOGmwA5yBn0 And the source for camp-view: http://projects.haskell.org/camp/index darcs get http://code.haskell.org/camp/devel/src/ camp >From the darcs developer point of view, we really want what your proposing, but we need someone to champion the effort and help maintain the GUI once it's built. Are you ready to take on that responisibility? Jason
