[Haskell-beginners] Looking for some pro bono haskell work

[Patrick Lynch]

...one more project...

I tried to understand Category Theory but was unable to do so...
I tried reading three books in regard to it and can understand the 
definition of Category...but couldn't follow any of these books past the 
first chapter and was unable to do any of the exercises in them...
However, I did see a few links that 'graphically' showed a Category and 
another that showed some categories and how they were implemented in 
Haskell - these made the most sense to me...
Since categories are the basis for Functors, Monoids and Monads - which are 
extensively used in Haskell and implicitly used, I think, in Linq - I would 
be very willing to participate in a project that showed categories and how 
they are implemented in Haskell...

Just a thought...

Ps
I am an independent software consultant [been doing it for 30+ years].
I did a market evaluation of Haskell and Linq and found the following:
   - there are page after page of Ling/C# jobs...
   - I only saw 1 Haskell job...
It 'begs the question': is some commercial organization going to implement 
Haskell as a product [I don't think it will be Microsoft, since they have 
introduced F#]...
