Welcome to issue 105 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the
[1]Haskell community.
And here's the Belated Valentine's Day HWN! Motto: "Remembering that
you love someone three days after you were supposed to is better than
not remembering at all." Of course, it's late because I spent the
weekend working on the Typeclassopedia (although you won't find a link
to it in this HWN because I've only included things through Saturday).
Much Haskell love to all!

Announcements
Google Summer of Code 2009. Malcolm Wallace [6]announced that
haskell.org will once again be applying to be a Google Summer of Code
mentor organization. Now is the time to begin discussing ideas for
student projects. Also, if you wish to help publicize GSoC amongst
students, there are [7]official posters/fliers available. A long
discussion of various project ideas followed, including some analysis
of the factors which contribute to project success.
Data.Stream 0.3. Wouter Swierstra [17]announced a new version of the
[18]Data.Stream package, a modest library for manipulating infinite
lists. Changes include support for lazy SmallCheck, an improved Show
instance, stricter scans, various documentation fixes, and several new
functions from Data.List.
X Haskell Bindings 0.1. Antoine Latter [19]announced a new release of
the [20]X Haskell Bindings (XHB) library. The goal of XHB is to provide
a Haskell implementation of the X11 wire protocol, similar in spirit to
the X protocol C-language Binding (XCB).
