[Haskell-cafe] Fwd: Google Summer of Code, news

[Michael Snoyman]

I'll throw in that Marcos mentioned this very issue to me about his code
before showing it to me. It was written the way it was for the requirements
of his course. He volunteered to translate the comments for me, but I told
him it wasn't necessary in order to get an initial feel for the code (I
also read Spanish somewhat).
