ghc-devel for darwinports

[David Leimbach]

Do we have enough Haskell now for it to have it's own category?

Python and other languages have their own category and it makes
it easier for folks like me to "browse the haskell library" of 
darwinports.

That is unless we can get some kind of decent query system in 
Darwinports
for finding out what's available.  I think a good enough query system 
would
make most categories somewhat superfluous.
