You get an enthusiastic +1 from me

I find it tricky to be systematic about it, especially given the diversity of possible platforms (combinatorial fun!), and the fact that targets move. I've been trying to move the pages towards something which explicitly accounts for this (eg. the “known configurations” tables, the timestamping).

One minor change lately, simpler URLs:

* http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Mac
* http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Linux
* http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Windows

Another thing which I think would help is just improving the visual appearance, not for the sake of making it nicer, but just using better markup to help separate bits of the pages from each other.

Good luck,
