No response yet from Sven after about a month and no one seems to have heard from him in over a year.
I'm going to take over for now under the assumption that Sven is missing. == My plans for moving forward == * Assemble an opengl taskforce, a few people have already mentioned an interest in being on the team * clean up the current cabal files (I already wrote patches for that) * put the repos on github to make team collaboration easier * add the RULES that Andy Gill suggested for realToFrac * look at adding instances for MArray so that GLfloat et al can be stored in IOUArrays * add support for opengl 4.x * look at adding deprecation pragmas for deprecated opengl calls * new hackage releases * anything else that comes up Thanks, Jason On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 2:11 PM, Jason Dagit <dag...@gmail.com> wrote: > I sent the message below to Haskell-Cafe about a week ago.
