wxHaskell[0] could use your support very well, I hope others will join in
as well. wxHaskell can be used for both game and serious software, but
could use more support.


What is it?
-----------

wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell. The goal of
the project is to provide an industrial strength GUI library for Haskell,
but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves.

wxHaskell is therefore built on top of wxWidgets – a comprehensive C++
library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK,
Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in
development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with the
native look-and-feel.
The wxHaskell project[0] could use more participants.


What can be done?
-----------------

Some of the activities:
- Adding new features
- Writing sample programs for testing and teaching (for functionality not
     used in sample programs so far)
- Simplifying installation (e.g. creating a wxWidgets binary package with
     installation program)
- Solving bugs
- Add/improve descriptions of the wxHaskell API in the source code
     (include usage samples)
- Write a manual, similar to the wxWidgets manual[1]
- Trying wxHaskell on Android and other new platforms
- Testing
- Creating binary packages
- Updating the wiki pages

Look at the bug tickets and feature requests[2] for details of some of the
things to do.
