Summary
dons: Worked on the new binary IO package, and patched hmp3 and lambdabot to use the new package. Lambdabot's now running live with 'binary' state
Binkley: Worked on ticky-ticky profiling in GHC. Pending review, that code is ready to go into GHC's HEAD.
pepe: Produced some GHC patches related to the GHCi debugger, and joined forces with beschmi to integrate the debugger in Emacs, building on top of beschmi code to use the ghc-api from Emacs. A new project sponsored by Hac'07 !
Lemmih: Worked on porting the parallel QuickCheck driver to QuickCheck-2.0. Did a little bit of 'binary' hacking.
Igloo: Tidied up Cabal, implemented -fwarn-tabs in GHC, fixed a couple of other small things, took part in various design discussions (e.g. hackage stuff, some of Neil's bits), and other random stuff I've forgotten already.
