The Haskell Platform is a single, standard [[Haskell]] development environment for everyone. It offers a set of blessed libraries and tools, to save you the task of picking and choosing which core Haskell libraries to use.
The Haskell Library Platform (HLP) is the name of a proposed library set
 
that would be the minimum standard for Haskell library support on a
 
system.
 
   
  +
[http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Learn more about the Haskell Platform ⇒]
There are now more than 500 libraries available for Haskell, on
 
[http://hackage.haskell.org hackage]. Choosing which libraries to
 
support on a distro is currently done on an ad hoc basis, with
 
significant variation from one distribution to another.
 
   
  +
__TOC__
Some, such as Arch Linux, or Gentoo Linux, include as many libraries as
 
possible (typically over 400), while others have the bare minimum
 
required to build ghc and say, darcs and xmonad.
 
   
  +
== What's in the platform ==
The Haskell community needs to provide direction and blessing to a
 
library set that should be available and adopted, to further encourage
 
Haskell use.

==Criteria==

The Haskell Platform project maintains a bug tracker and wiki site, which you can use to report problems, or request features:
* GHC would build against its own core libraries, but would be generally distributed with the HLP.
 
   
  +
* [http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/report/1 Known issues]
* The HLP should provide good coverage for all typical tasks one might want to accomplish with the language, given library availability.

* [http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/newticket?summary=%3CProblem%3E&description=%3CDescribe%20the%20problem%3E&component=Platform Report a bug]
