Introduction

There are often people looking for useful projects to do and there are always projects needing help. This page is meant to bring people and projects together. Anyone with a Haskell project needing help, can add their project to this page.

wxHaskell

wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell. The goal of the project is to provide an industrial strength GUI library for Haskell, but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves.

wxHaskell is therefore built on top of wxWidgets: a comprehensive C++ library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK, Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with the native look-and-feel.

What can be done?

Some of the activities:

Solving bugs

Adding new features

Writing sample programs for testing and teaching (for functionality not used in sample programs so far)

Simplifying installation (e.g. creating a wxWidgets/wxHaskell binary package with installation program). Scripts, used in the passed for this, can be found on GitHub, old binary package are at SourceForge.
