Sharing your code

If you need a place to host a project so that others can help with it, we suggest using github with git. You can also apply for an account on the community server.

Projects

If you have a project that you want to work on at the Hackathon, please describe it here.

Since Hackathons are great for teamwork, consider joining one of the projects mentioned below. If you're interested in one of these projects, add your name to the list of hackers under that project.

GHC

Richard will likely be doing some GHC hacking, as he is wont to do. Others: please join in the fun, and suggestions for projects can be provided!

Richard Eisenberg

CodeWorld

Chris Smith will likely be hacking on CodeWorld, a web-based K-12 education environment using Haskell. Possible projects include editor improvements, mobile app export, a constructive geometry API, debugging and collaborative editing, or bug fixes and UI tweaks.

Chris Smith
Libby Horacek

Legion

Legion is a framework for writing stateful, elastically scalable, AP microservices. I'm probably going to be working on the cluster rebalancing system. Also, help from anyone who knows a lot about gossip protocols would be appreciated.

Rick Owens

FLTKHS

FLTKHS is a Haskell GUI library for getting native cross platform GUI up and running quickly and easily. I'm probably going to work on patching the missing Linux High DPI support. Any feedback or suggestions for future enhancements would be appreciated.

Aditya Siram

Opaleye

I'd like to learn more about Opaleye (SQL generation) probably by writing some documentation or fixing bugs.

Libby Horacek

Duffer

I'm spending more time on Duffer, my silly git library in Haskell!

Vaibhav Sagar

Experience

Please list projects with which you are familiar. This way, people know whom to contact for more information or guidance on a particular project.

-=== HSFFIG ===
+=== FLTKHS  ===
-Work on the [http://code.haskell.org/hsffig/ HSFFIG] project is almost done, so HSFFIG and its successor [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/FFI_imports_packaging_utility ffipkg] may be useful for projects involving bindings to C (but not C++) libraries. Please mention here if you are interested to give HSFFIG a try.

-[http://code.haskell.org/~TracyWadleigh/mathlink/ mathlink] is a package for making Haskell functions callable from ''Mathematica''. Given that the project is essentially limited to users of ''Mathematica'', I don't expect a whole lot of actual coding help (though it is certainly welcome!), but I'm certainly looking forward to getting suggestions on how I might improve it.

-=== gitit ===
+=== Duffer ===
+I'm spending more time on [https://github.com/vaibhavsagar/duffer Duffer], my silly git library in Haskell!
-[http://www.johnmacfarlane.net/ Gitit] is a wiki program written in Haskell. It uses [http://happstack.com Happstack] for the web server and [http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ pandoc] for markup processing. Pages and uploaded files are stored in a git or darcs repository and may be modified either by using the VCS’s command-line tools or through the wiki’s web interface.
-I (anton) plan to work on developing Gitit extensions to provide more general content management and application framework capabilities.  Some previous work I've done on this is described [http://groups.google.com/group/gitit-discuss/msg/8130f2bc060f9fb2 here] (this work has since been integrated into Gitit).
-* Anton van Straaten
-=== formlets ===
-[http://github.com/chriseidhof/formlets/ Formlets] is a library providing simple form creation and handling for Haskell data types.
-=== happstack-auth ===
-[http://github.com/mightybyte/happstack-auth/tree Happstack-auth] is a drop-in authentication framework for Happstack.
-=== hpc ===
-I (ravi) am interested in getting [http://projects.unsafeperformio.com/hpc/ hpc (Haskell Program Coverage)] to work when you're trying to generate code coverage for multiple binaries (with different Main modules in different source files) that otherwise are built from a shared pool of source code. IIRC, the generated coverage information itself has everything I want, the problem is that the hpc command-line tools don't know how to cope with multiple source files being identified with the same module (Main). Before I get to Hac Phi, I'm planning to ask Andy Gill (one of the people behind hpc) for guidance on how to approach this.
-=== Data.Binary enhancements ===
-There are two reasons I (ravi) can't use the [http://code.haskell.org/binary/ Data.Binary] library at my day job (and therefore waste time maintaining a less useful homegrown replacement):
-* Data.Binary doesn't have clean support for persisting types where you want to encode them in a shared form. For a shared binary encoding, I want to spit out the full representation the first time you see a particular value of that type, but spit out a reference to the previously persisted representation every subsequent time you come across a value Eq to a value that has been previously encoded in the same stream.
-* Data.Binary doesn't have support for gathering statistics about what is taking up space in a particular binary stream. Sometimes the natural binary encodings we write take up much more space than we expect, so we have some simple statistics markers we can insert that let us get useful size information for debugging those sorts of problems. Our implementation of statistics-gathering isn't ideal because there's some conceptually unnecessary strictness we haven't been able to get rid of (which makes it harder than seems necessary to get statistics in some of our blow-up cases), so I'd also like help getting that right.
