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

[Patrick Lynch]

Good morning,
Thanks for the advice...I'll take it and proceed to Yesod...
...but take a look at the following link: 
http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Edsko.de.Vries/talks/cattheory.pdf
...it does such a nice job in explaining CT and how it interfaces with 
Haskell...
...if someone wants to start a project using Edsko's method, I'd be sure to 
volunteer...
Good day

I'm no Haskell guru, but I don't know any category theory and it
hasn't been a major stumbling block for me. I think you get a long
ways with Haskell before you need to go there.
