Apart from the mailing lists, there are two forums which are sort
of used for this.

One is the wiki:

	http://haskell.org/wiki/wiki?HaskellTwo

...which, as those of us who use it regularly know, is down at
the moment.  The other is the Haskell Wish List:

	http://www.pms.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/haskell-wish-list/

...which has also been down for some time.

Clearly whichever malevolent forces are responsible for downtime
don't want Haskell to evolve. :-)
