Projects

1. TreeViz - a computation breakdown visualization project hosted by David Banas
2. Haskell Platform, the new build - We are working on a new build system for all of Haskell Platform: Generating tarballs, installers, and even the web site from one single Shake based build tool. Lots to do! See Mark Lentczner.
3. lambda-ccc - a project for compiling Haskell to hardware. I'm doing this work for my day job, but the development is open, and the result will be shared freely. The project starts with a GHC plugin that transforms Core in order to generate a convenient-to-manipulate GADT representation of the original. Then convert to an Arrow-like algebraic interface that can be interpreted in various ways, including as circuits. See Conal Elliott.
4. see what Template Haskell generates. For those interested in hacking on the GHC compiler, see Greg Weber
5. Snowdrift.coop — a community-engagement and fundraising platform strictly for Free/Libre/Open projects, built on Yesod; Head developer David Thomas and co-founder (and Haskell beginner) Aaron Wolf will be on hand. We have a wide range of projects at different levels and sizes to hack on.
