[arch-haskell] Snap web framework - not in ArchHaskell?

[Dawid Loubser]

Thank you kindly, Ramana.

I have to put quite a lot of work (learning) into Haskell before I would
be of any real use, I was simply interested in playing around with snap
as one of the avenues of learning. I quite like the philosophy of snap.

I'll certainly be in contact once I can meaningfully contribute (or
meaningfully ask questions!).
