Some announcements, discussion openers, technical questions may not be posted to haskell-c...@haskell.org. However, the idea (now at least) is that if you are subscribed to haskell-cafe@haskell.org, you should (may as well) be subscribed to hask...@haskell.org. However, if you don't want tbe drink from the firehose that is haskell-cafe@haskell.org you can still keep track of announcements and such in hask...@haskell.org. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
