Resolving Windows 64-bit linker issues

[Tamar Christina]

Hi Simon,

We do have a page on Trac with the members:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WindowsTaskForce

We could add the extra information there.

Regards,
Tamar

    One really helpful thing would be to

·         make a wiki home page for the Windows Task Force

·         list who is on it

·         list the main tasks “in flight” and what their status is

·         any other plans

Anything to broaden visibility of the WTF, and encourage others to join
in.  Communication is all in an open-source context!



Thanks for working on Windows… it’s a very popular platform, and needs your
love!



Simon

To expand on that (let's see if I can do this without accidentally sending
again, oops!):

Roman, I will get in touch with you on a separate email thread to see if we
can find an optimal way to coordinate, something that satisfies our
schedules and needs. Others please feel free to bug me any time by email (
dedgrant at gmail.com) or on freenode #ghc as dedgrant, PST hours.

In the meantime I'll be auditing some of the related backlogged tickets on
trac. If there's something I can do to help further the goal of a Windows
Task Force page, please let me know.


Pleased to meet everyone!

Cheers,

Darren

Resending, since Roman's and Kyril's email addresses were mangled/missing.
