[Haskell-cafe] Haddock GSoC project

[Isaac Dupree]

I'm interested in being a GSoC student, and the Haddock-related tickets looked 
like a good place to start
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1567
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1568
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1569

... haddock could use some love!  And I love documentation.

I think I'd start by hacking on some relatively easy Haddock tickets to find my 
way around the code and the hacking process.  Then it might be time to move 
into one of the bigger projects (I'm tempted to say #1567, "Haddock: allow 
documentation to propagate between packages"), depending on priorities; 
probably still working on some smaller but important Haddock tickets.  Then it 
depends how much time we have left in the summer, there's a lot that can be 
done!

- I've hacked on the GHC lexing/parsing code a bit, and I know darcs, haskell, 
etc., and I've been around watching on mailing-lists since before Haddock 2.x, 
so I feel like I have a fair amount of context with which to approach this 
project.

What do you think, is this a good project to look towards?  What's the next 
step... should I elaborate my proposal by looking at Haddock tickets and their 
priorities?  But I should have your feedback first; what do the mentors, or the 
Haskell community, want most to be improved about Haddock?
