Budapest Hackathon 2016/Projects
bead
Contact: Andor Pénzes & Gábor János Páli
Homepage: https://github.com/andorp/bead
Required skill level: Various
Bead is an online assignment management system for university courses with a multi-language web interface that supports scheduled publication and activation, submission, automated testing, reporting, and evaluation of course work assignments, mid-term and final examinations. It is almost fully implemented in Haskell based on the Snap framework, it uses the Bootstrap web framework for the user interface, and it can interact with MySQL for storing data and Active Directory services for authentication of users, althought it can work as a standalone service as well. The automated testing can be scripted through the use of the standard UNIX shell commands.
Tasks:
- Switch to [digestive-functors](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/digestive-functors) in the description of user interface forms.
- Switch to the servant web services API for the implementation of routing pages.
- Implementation of user stories and user-interface logic for notifications.
es-api
Contact: Luke Murphy
Homepage: https://github.com/lwm/es-api
Required skill level: Intermediate
es-api is a simple web API built with servant. It currently only allows for GET methods on the spanish verbs. The project has been accepted for the OpenShift Grant Project - which means, we could roll some shake deployment files and get it live! It has rudimentary documentation, a database layer but no tests!

GHC Ticket #11551: Get doctests into testsuite
Contact: Luke Murphy
Homepage: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11551
Required skill level: Advanced (mostly makefile magic!)
This GHC ticket is part of a plan to bring more documentation into GHC.
The story is best told with this Hoogle issue:
Once we get this patch running, any documentation patch with doctest will be tested automatically!
Haskell tools

Description: Multi-Core & Scratchpad Support for Resource-Aware Feldspar.
tasty-discover
Contact: Luke Murphy
Homepage: https://github.com/lwm/tasty-discover
Required skill level: Beginner
tasty-discover is an attempt to bring an user friendly test runner to the tasty framework. It started off as a copy/paste of the hspec-discover but now has come into it's own. It has the possibility to be a general purpose test runner with some work (given that tasty can run hspec tests!). There are a number of simple patches that can be done.

64-bit code generation for x86
Contact: Péter Diviánszky
Homepage: no homepage yet
Required skill level: Intermediate
I am working on a Harpy-like library (https://wiki.haskell.org/Harpy) with 64-bit support. (The intention is to have a lightweight code generation library for just-in-time compilation for a lambda-calculus interpreter.)
