DHD UHac/Projects
A big part of hackathons is working on projects together (in person, not online!). This page documents the projects at UHac.
If you want to suggest a project, add a subsection under Projects.
Sharing code
If you need a place to host a project so that others can help with it, there are many different options.
- GitHub is a popular social hosting service users of git
- Patch-Tag is a similar service for darcs.
- The Haskell.org community server is also available. Be sure to apply for an account first, since it may take some time.
Projects
Below are the projects potentially being undertaken at UHac.
- You can add your own project using the template found in the wiki source.
- You can add yourself to a project's list of interesting parties.
GHC Generics
Interested:
- José Pedro Magalhães
- Feel free to join! Also if you just have ideas of things that should work, or want to understand generics better
Plans:
- Implement deriving of
Generic1 - Write a description of other GP libs in the Haskell wiki
- Fix #5884
- Fix #5939
- Think about #5936
- Think harder about using data kinds
Standard algorithms
Objective point of this project is to implement or improve some standard algorithms like suffix arrays, z-function, cartesian trees, dijkstra algorithms which lack in standard library.
Interested:
- Victor Denisov

regex-applicative
To learn about the project, see the README. There will also be a short talk about it on the first day.
The main challenge at the moment is to achieve decent performance.
Interested:
- Roman Cheplyaka
Kind-polymorphic Typeable
Implement the new kind-polymorphic Typeable in GHC.
Interested:
- José Pedro Magalhães
Parser for physical units and quantities
Write a parser for the dimensional-tf package.
Current status is a parser which parses physical units to a small expression language. The parsed units are normalised to the 7 base SI dimensions.
The important part that doesn't work yet is to translate these expressions to Units and Quantities as defined by the dimensional-tf package.
