package 发布方面：
darcs 2.1.1rc2. Eric Kow (kowey) announced the release of darcs 2.1.1rc2, which adds support for GHC 6.10.1. It also includes a Windows bug fix. If you're using GHC 6.10.1 or Windows, give it a try and let the darcs development team know how it works.

Workflow-0.1. Alberto G. Corona announced the release of Workflow, a library for transparent execution of computations across shutdowns and restarts.

Reactive library (FRP) and mailing list. Conal Elliott announced the release of Reactive, a library for functional reactive programming (FRP), similar to the original Fran but with a more modern interface (using standard type classes) and a hybrid push/pull implementation. It is designed to be used in a variety of contexts, such as interactive 2D and 3D graphics, graphical user interfaces, web services, and automatic recompilation/re-execution. There is also now a mailing list and a feature/bug tracker.

gitit 0.2 release - wiki using HAppS, git, pandoc. John MacFarlane announced the upload of an early version of gitit, a Haskell wiki program, to HackageDB. Gitit uses HAppS as a webserver, git for file storage, pandoc for rendering the (markdown) pages, and highlighting-kate for highlighted source code. You can try it out here. Comments and patches welcome.

讨论方面：

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no good answer to this question and the thread degenerated into a discussion of all the great things you can do with Haskell. If only Haskell sucked more.
