+ Haskell Weekly News: August 9, 2005
+
+ Greetings, and thanks for reading the second issue of HWN, a weekly
+ newsletter for the Haskell community. Each Tuesday, new editions will be
+ posted (as text) to [1]the Haskell mailing list and (as HTML) to [2]The
+ Haskell Sequence.
+
+ 1. http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
+ 2. http://sequence.complete.org/
+
+Discussion
+
+ Practical Monads. Paul Moore started a [3]discussion about Monads and
+ resources for learning about them. Quite a few readers responded with
+ suggestions.
+
+ 3. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/7964
+
+ STRef vs. IORef. Srinivas Nedunuri started a [4]discussion by asking when
+ to STRef and when to use IORef. Iavor Diatchki posted a helpful
+ [5]example, and many other helpful answers were posted as well.
+
+ 4. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/11895
+ 5. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/11901
+
+ Parsing Foreign Languages. The The ParsingForeignLanguagesInHaskell wiki
+ page was the subject of a short [6]discussion on the libraries mailing
+ list. If you have any further information or would like to join or start a
+ project to parse a particular language, see the [7]wiki page.
+
+ 6. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/3572
+ 7. http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/ParsingForeignLanguagesInHaskell
+
+Haskell Toolchain
+
+ Cabal was again a hot topic this week. There were discussions about
+ [8]data directories, [9]running on Windows 98, and [10]package description
+ fields in general.
+
+ 8. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/3594
+ 9. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/3575
+ 10. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/3566
+
+Darcs Corner
+
+ Darcs in FreshMeat. David Roundy is [11]looking for volunteers to maintain
+ the Darcs [12]entry at FreshMeat.net. It wouldn't require much time, but
+ the ability to summarize changes at release time.
+
+ 11. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/8034
+ 12. http://freshmeat.net/projects/darcs/
+
+ Binary files and line endings. Phil Brooke [13]asked how darcs handles
+ line endings and binary files.
+
+ 13. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/8017
+
+ Uniqueness of patch names. On #darcs this week, a discussion about the
+ uniqueness of low-level patch names in darcs. The consensus seemed to be
+ that darcs needs an additional better-than-1-second component to patch
+ names to eliminate a situation in which collisions can arise.
+
+New Releases
+
+ * Simon Marlow announced the [14]release of Haddock version 0.7.
+ Highlights of this version include improvements for linking across
+ different packages, bug fixes, collapsable trees in HTML, and support
+ for new output formats.
+ * Einar Karttunen has released [15]hsgnutls 0.1, a Haskell binding for
+ the GnuTLS SSL/TLS library.
+ * John Goerzen [16]announced the release of a preliminary, but working,
+ binding to OpenLDAP from Haskell.
+
+ 14. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/11903
+ 15. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ekarttun/hsgnutls/
+ 16. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/11932
+
+Quotes of the Week
+
+ "Oh Lord, bless this thy holy IO monad, and use it for thy
+ purposes that it may smash Java to tiny bits..." (with apologies to monty
+ python)
+
+ If I ever write a GUI library for Haskell, I'm going to call
+ it pointlesstif.
