Thanks... improving the wiki would be a great contribution. If you point me to new material that you write, I'd be happy to review it.

| 
| Hi,
| 
| I'd like to get involved in developing, but I recognize the learning
| curve involved. To get started I'd like to improve the Trac wiki
| documentation. Part of this would include additional documentation of
| less-documented parts of the compiler and RTS. In addition, I'd like to
| start some sort of "what's new" that boils down the GHC Dev mailing list
| discussion as LWN does for the Linux kernel mailing list. I don't
| imagine that I can do this all by myself, but I hope this idea would
| resonate with others looking to get started as well. This is meant to be
| more frequent and more detailed than what HCAR does for GHC now, though
| I don't expect anyone can do it weekly.
| 
| Please let me know what you think about this idea. I'm open to any
| suggestions for improving it also.
