The changes look fine to me, although I'm a little surprised at all the {{fact}} tags. (Some of them look very easy to fix, like why typeclasses were introduced in the first place.) There's no need to do any page moving or anything; the new version can just be pasted in. The main concern is maintaining a complete & correct copyright history, and if Simon made all the edits modifying the original text, and he also makes the big update, then there's no issue: the holder of the copyright will appear aright in the history with all his changes. -- gwern _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
