The GLUT package (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-
scripts/package/GLUT) contains a lot of examples, too: Almost all examples 
from the Red Book, one example from the Orange Book, examples from the initial 
chapters of "Beginning OpenGL Game Programming" plus a few miscellaneous 
examples. It would be nice if the NeHe tutorials were included in the GLUT 
package, too. I'm not sure if I contacted Jason in the past or if he is 
reading this list. Having as many examples in a single place would be good for 
documentation purposes and testing.

My main intent was to keep the OpenGL API in Haskell as close to the C API as 
possible, while providing a real "Haskell feeling", avoiding the need to re-
document each and every tiny detail from the almost 500 pages of the OpenGL 
specification. Browsing through e.g. the Red Book examples should be more than 
enough to get you started, at least if you know the Red Book, which I assume 
most OpenGL programmers do.

Cheers,
   S.
