Some tricky patches maybe: - attempt to finish witnesses (2008) - big ByteString stuff after the 2008-10 sprint - merging in google summer of code (2009) http://wiki.darcs.net/Review/DarcsHS - adventure branch discussion > I'd happily participate and help Darcs, such as volunteering to be > Issue Manager.
