All three task have one thing in common though - the GHC build system. Project 
sources are over 
500MB, there are many subrepositories, build scripts etc - this is really 
intimidating at first 
and I guess that seeing all that was a bit discouraging. Now that I know the 
compiler itself is 
about 9MB it doesn't look that bad :) Wiki indeed seems to have all the 
information required. 
It's just that it would be good to give beginners a _precise_ list of things 
they should read to 
begin hacking.
