My plan is to write up what I end up doing (plus some notes on my
false starts, if they seem helpful) on the wiki. I'll probably add a
new page off the "Libraries and Tools" page - does that sound
reasonable?

I have to admit that I haven't found the obvious place on the wiki for
this yet - I'm familiar with wikis in general, but the structure of
the Haskell wiki is a bit hard to get to grips with. That's not a very
helpful comment, because I can't articulate *why* I feel this :-( As a
data point, the old Haskell wiki felt a bit easier to navigate - maybe
because it was less structured in some way.

Paul.
