maybe the wiki could be updated to give more clues for a newcomer.

  http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Parsec

in particular :

 - link 1 points to the parsec site, with an almost 10 years old
   documentation, for a previous major release
 - link 3 is broken


The rest of the page is a bit terse as well. I'm really wondering what
one should start reading to learn how to parse a stream in haskell.
