Incidentally, who is actually active in the steering committee? I see (if I interpreted correctly) Duncan and Thomas had the great advantage of getting to meet and discuss in person. I'm a silly U.S. person without much travel money at present, and a sleep schedule that means I'm asleep during European business hours. If this makes me a less effective committee member I could withdraw from that title, or y'all could advise me on how to be more effective, or whatever. I feel okay about the current situation though (just wanted to hear what it is from your perspective). We exercise direction; we don't exercise authority. So, as long as it's a consistent direction.
My e-mail records suggest that when we formed the committee in July 2009, it consisted of: Thomas Schilling <nomin...@googlemail.com> Iavor Diatchki <iavor.diatc...@gmail.com> Adam Wick <aw...@galois.com> Johan Tibell <johan.tib...@gmail.com> Duncan Coutts <duncan.cou...@worc.ox.ac.uk> Isaac Dupree <m...@isaac.cedarswampstudios.org> (The wiki has this info too - hopefully it will be back online soon.) It was based on volunteers; there no worries about succession or anything; we got about the number of volunteers we hoped for. http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org/msg00563.html Hmm, I looked back on the mailing-list, just to get one sort of perspective from the last few months -- Adam hasn't posted much -- I realized I maybe haven't posted very much until this week, although I have been reading the libraries@ discussions -- Iavor's also posted some; and Johan, Duncan, and Thomas have definitely been involved in the libraries & platform discussions. -Isaac _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
