[Haskell-libs-developers] Object I/O Library

[Andrew J B. <an...@br...>]

G'day all.

There is already a partly-written attempt to port Clean's Object I/O
library to Haskell.  It is currently without an owner.  The library
includes middle-layer GUI stuff (like Java's AWT) and TCP/IP handling.
since a good network interface is something that Haskell really needs,
this might be an appropriate first project for haskell-libs.

Here's Simon Peyton-Jones' call to arms:

What do we think?  Is this a good first project?  Being already mostly
designed, documented and started should be a Good Thing(tm) to get the
momentum started.

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage
