<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Simon,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">Happy New Year!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">Indeed, as soon as my teaching was over I jumped on the project with double energy, and then several people joined as collaborators, so we are in a very good shape right now. I'm happy
with the progress. We can already build GHC on Windows/Linux/OSX from scratch without relying on the old build system, but with some limitations (only vanilla way, no validation, command line flags not supported). Feel free to try!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">We are getting close to the first milestone `first-shake`:
<a href="https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc/milestones">https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc/milestones</a>. It should be ready in a week, and I think it would be a perfect timing to announce it on GHC devs mailing list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">The only problem: I still can't post to the GHC devs mailing list. I tried several times, sent several requests to
<a href="mailto:ghc-devs-owner@haskell.org">ghc-devs-owner@haskell.org</a> to whitelist my email, but no luck so far. Would you be the owner by any chance? Please let me in! :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#1F497D">As soon as `first-shake` is released I'll start writing the ICFP paper. Thanks for pushing and willing to be a co-author!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’ve seen a few issue messages from #147
<a href="https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc">https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc</a> (it says “you are receiving notifications because you were mentioned”). And I saw Neil yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">So it looks as though you are tremendously active and, better still, have several other collaborators. That’s fantastic!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Would you like to send an update message to the GHC devs mailing list, to keep us all up to date?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Finally, what about a paper for ICFP or, if rejected, the Haskell Symposium. I really want to get this written up, and ICFP is a useful forcing function. But you’d need to start
writing now! I’d be a willing co-author.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
