  A: Yes. It's likely that in such a scenario, the Haskell Foundation
  would become the owner of the haskell.org domain name, with the cost
  divided between the members. The entity that is part of the SFC would
  be renamed community.haskell.org in order to avoid confusion.


Would it be a too ambitious goal to create the Haskell Foundation at this
moment?

 PS: Why not using Doodle for the poll?


 Email is an easy way to make sure nobody votes twice.


1. It's unlikely to get feedback from the larger Haskell community
2. It floods people with email they don't care (unless they care to keep
track of the results)
3. One can just as easily create throw-away emails, subscribe to the list
and answer the poll
4. etc...

My suggestion is to create a poll somewhere else and let it run for at
least a month.

Or a more elaborated survey with additional questions trying to capture the
community's feeling toward a masket and what kind.

I don't think we are in a hurry to get a mascot here so let's take the time
and do it properly.

 Some might picture a symphony or what looks like newspaper origami when

 because its simple and Da the lamb rolls smoothly off the tongue.
 Probably best to open a poll to and let everyone decide.


Not trying to complicate things any further but perhaps it'd be better to
have a contest on this, just like for the new logo.

   You can install it under a different username.


 Haskell Platform (HP) is installed for *all* users in one location at OSX:
  /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/
 total 8
 drwxrwxr-x  4 root  admin  136 21 feb  2011 .
 drwxrwxr-x  5 root  admin  170 21 feb  2011 ..
 drwxrwxr-x  4 root  admin  136 11 jun  2010 612
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 user  staff3 21 фев  2011 Current - 612

 1) How different username will help here?


I meant install new packages through cabal under a different username. The
cabal repo should be localized unless you specify --global

Please see Rogan's suggestions.



 2) Is there any way to see what packages HP includes without actually
 installing it? Some online document listing HP packages?

Hello,

 To gather all Haskellers in Brazil, a new mailing list has been created:

   http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-br

 There is also the #haskell-br channel on Freenode as well as Twitter and
Google+ feeds to keep everybody updated on recent activities.

 Hi,
 I am running GHC 6.12.3 at Mac OSX and have numerous problems with 'cabal
 install' of different packages.


[...]


 Questions about current Haskell Platform for OSX  2011.2.0.1. :
 (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html)

 1) Where can I find release notes to understand what version of GHC
 Haskell Platform for OSX  2011.2.0.1 includes?


I couldn't find a release notes document for Mac OS X but unpacking the
.pkg file shows it has GHC 7.0.3.



 2) Will I be able to install mongoDB-1.1.0 on this release?


Hackage shows that mongoDB-1.0.1 has been the latest package compiled with
GHC 7.0. For GHC 6.x it's mongoDB-0.8.1.

You might have more luck upgrading the Haskell Platform or choosing a older
version of mongoDB.



 3) How to install it into a separate location so it would not ruin my
 current platform?


 You can install it under a different username.

 Interesting -- this works as you want with runghc, but it works as you
 describe when compiled with ghc --make. (under ghc 7.0.3 here as
 well.)


It works fine with runghc / ghc (7.0.3) on WinXP 32-bit.

Perhaps it's related to this:
