Projects you intend to tackle.
Project | Task Description | Participants |
---|---|---|
Network APIs | Investigate and test new APIs for potentially replacing network, network-bytestring, and network-fancy | TomMD |
HPDF | Additional hacking and c bindings | jmelesky |
HUnit | GUI. Maybe also text UI that isn't horrible | KimWallmark |
judy | Fast, mutable collection types | dons |
Additional Project Suggestions
Projects you'd consider, but depends on the interest of other attendees.
Project | Task Description | |
---|---|---|
Crypto Part I | Fix up the crypto library - use bytestring, fold in pureMD5/SHA/hecc, provide a new API | |
PNG | Work on Bart Massey's pure-Haskell PNG reading/writing library. Lots to do here. | |
ParseArgs | Clean up and extend a bit Bart Massey's parseargs package. | |
TCP Service | Extract and package the SMTP-style TCP server bits from Bart Massey's MiniChess server. | |
sqlite open_v2() | Add full support for SQlite's open_v2() call to the sqlite package. | |
HaRe | Get it compiling under ghc 6.10; cabalize it. | |
plugins | Tests and examples seem to fail with linking errors on the latest Haskell Platform. | |
wxHaskell | Get this to install on Arch Linux. | |
Kernel Modules | Finish porting a Linux driver to Haskell (mostly means working on the c2hs bindings) | |
Whiteout | I - Echo Nolan - have been working on a BitTorrent client library. It uses fun things like iteratees and STM. If anyone is interested in hearing about/working on it, I'm more than happy to give the guided tour. | |
Lambdabot | Everyone's favorite Haskell IRC bot. |
Crypto 5.0 notes
See the patch-tag.com crypto repository files Data/Digest.hs and Data/Cipher.hs for proposed Digest and Cipher typeclasses.
This would allow digests to be called with a simple "hash" function so long as they have an instance:
newtype SHA1 = SHA1 (Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32)
instance Digest SHA1 SHA1PartialCtx where
--Code goes here...
And similarly for block/stream ciphers and RNGs. Also, slurp up the various other crypto libs on hackage.
Other todos
- Add website and darcs repo to Crypto.cabal.
- Use test-framework.
- Don't build tests by default - use a flag.
- Is dominic.steinitz@blueyonder.co.uk still the correct contact email? If not, change it in CryptoHomePage.html
- Does the readme *really* have to be in TeX?
- Get a real bugtracker set up? code.haskell.org gives out trac hosting.
- Holy crap that is a lot of warnings.
- QuickCheck 2?
- Echo hates Darcs with a passion.
