Oops, forgot to Cc the list. Next year I'll be working on a project for my undergraduate computing course at UNSW that will involve getting GHC to target the Nintendo DS. It'll require cross-compilation, because the DS isn't powerful enough to actually run GHC (4M main ram and a 66MHz processor). It'll also require that I significantly strip down the runtime system, as the current RTS won't fit in 4M and leave any left over for the main application. I'll be documenting the whole process, but I won't be starting until next year...
