Hi David, no there is no direct relationship to distributed haskell.
Quid2's focus is not so much on extending Haskell itself and its runtime to work in a distributed fashion but rather to provide a global naming system for functional values. Very similar to the Web, whose main innovation is to provides a global naming system for all kind of resources that previously had only local names (/dir/myfile versus http://ww.myserver.com/myfile). A description of Quid2 architecture will soon be available and it will be clearer how is meant to work. It will be far from complete, a working functional web will only emerge if many different ideas converge in a coherent whole.
