[wxhaskell-users] pinging wxhaskell...

[Eric Y. K. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi wxhaskellers,

Just forwarding a comment from Neil on Haskell Caf=E9.  He has expressed a
similar sentiment on #haskell a long time ago (which I think I have
relayed as well).

For the record, my participation in this project consists of reviewing
incoming patches (if nobody else does), and pushing them to darcs.  To
be honest, I'm stretched too thin for even this meager job.  Luckily,
there have not been any patches for a while :-/.

That said, I think wxhaskell is really handy.  I like having a native
GUI on every major platform (may not be perfect, but is a good
compromise) and I like the relatively high level library.  So it would
be *really* nice to keep this project alive.  I'll bet other users on
this list agree with this sentiment.

Jeremy and friends: anybody still have time to be working on this?  And
wxhaskell-users, are any of you willing to step up and take over the
patch review job?

Thanks!
