Hello ghc-devs
For everyone who doesn't know me (yet), I am Hécate, and I coordinate
the the Haskell Docs initiative.
You may have seen me on various community channels and on social media
to recruit
lost souls^W^Wmotivated volunteers to help improve the documentation of
the `base` library.
It can be a daunting task, hence this page that I set up to guide
newcomers and track ongoing
work[0]
The point of my message is the following:
If there are any modules you would like to see prioritised for the next
release (8.12), please contact us.
Current efforts are very organic and stem from personal hardships with
the docs, but if you feel
that some parts of the docs have been left too long on their own, give
us a heads-up.
If you want to personally take on a module whose documentation you deem
lacking,
feel free to join us on #Haskell-docs[1] , so we can coordinate and
avoid multiple people
working at the same time in an uncoordinated manner towards the same goal.
And finally if you do not wish to get involved but still wish to
support, we communicate
on Twitter[2] and the Fediverse[3].
I would like to end this email by thanking Ben and Carter for their
support and guidance.
The Core Libraries Committee has been instrumental to the development of
these efforts.
Cheers, and take care.
