Summary

dons: Worked on the new binary IO package, and patched hmp3 and lambdabot to use the new package. Lambdabot's now running live with 'binary' state

kolmodin: Worked on the new binary IO package.

Binkley: Worked on ticky-ticky profiling in GHC. Pending review, that code is ready to go into GHC's HEAD.

pepe: Produced some GHC patches related to the GHCi debugger, and joined forces with beschmi to integrate the debugger in Emacs, building on top of beschmi code to use the ghc-api from Emacs. A new project sponsored by Hac'07 !

Lemmih: Worked on porting the parallel QuickCheck driver to QuickCheck-2.0. Did a little bit of 'binary' hacking.

Igloo: Tidied up Cabal, implemented -fwarn-tabs in GHC, fixed a couple of other small things, took part in various design discussions (e.g. hackage stuff, some of Neil's bits), and other random stuff I've forgotten already.

ndm: Index searching for Haddock. Gtk2Hs with waiting on Handles in Win32 (answer = doesn't work). DeferedBinary module, for Hoogle.

Waern: Started working on generating correct links to external package modules in Haddock-GHC. Decided together with Simon to avoid having separate Haddock interface files and use GHC's .hi-files only. Needed to modify GHC to include some extra information in the .hi-files to be able to do this.

beschmi: Started working on debugger support and improved ghci Emacs integration with Pepe (everyone should try the ghci debugger in 6.7). Had some nice discussions about crypto+Haskell with Dominic Steinitz.

dcoutts: worked on the binary library with kolmodin and dons, various admin stuff.

Thorkil Naur: Studies related to the GHC GMP replacement (trac ticket 601).

bringert: Merged cabal-install into the main Cabal repo. Hacked on cabal-install. Started working on a tar package.
