Actually it is at
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Haskell/Messages/Display.cgi?id=0
But it is difficult to track the ongoing discussion, because
- the interface is slowwwwwww (they don't call it the "World Wide Wait"
for nothing)
- it is difficult to keep track of which parts you have read already
and which parts are new
- unlike say a mailing list, those wishing to track the discussion must
remember to check the Web site regularly (or to use the jargon,
it's "pull" technology rather than "push" technology).
I spend some time looking at the Web site tonight, but eventually I got
sick of the net lag and gave up.
My question is this: was it the intent of the committee to deliberately
discourage the participation of those not on the committee?
Or was this feat achieved by accident?
