[Haskell-cafe] data analysis question

[Mark Fredrickson]

Is there a mailing list for statistics/analytics/simulation/numerical
analysis/etc. using Haskell? If not, I purpose we start one. (Not to
take away from general discussion, but to provide a forum to hash out
these issues among the primary user base).
