Indeed; but it sounds like just the kind of project that would benefit from many contributors.

It is gratifying to see that the HCAR has passed its fifth year, showing the Haskell community still growing. Wow.

Well done Andres! It's a lot of work doing the HCAR, and we all owe you a big thank-you. Simon Indeed! It is gratifying to see that the HCAR has passed its fifth year, showing the Haskell community still growing. so thank you, Andres, and all you contributors out there. And, please, make Andres' life easy, by remembering to contribute, maybe even in time, but certainly with updated or new entries!
