Welcome Haskell Mode users,

Haskell Mode progress report for November 2015 (online version
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-2015>
).

is Haskell Mode?

Haskell Mode is an umbrella project for multiple Emacs tools for efficient
Haskell development. Haskell Mode is an open source project developed by a
group of volunteers. For more information see
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode.

developments

The bug that everybody was waiting for
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues/962> was fixed! No more
'Illegal token' in indentation. Rejoice!
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-2015#coming-release>Coming
release

In the beginning of December we plan to tag new stable release of
haskell-mode with current state of the repo (plus possible bugfixes).

projects

Haskell editor landscape is growing and there are compelling propositions
all over the place:

   - Atom IDE-Haskell <https://atom.io/packages/ide-haskell>
   - Haskell Vim IDE <https://github.com/begriffs/haskell-vim-now>
   - Leksah - Haskell IDE in Haskell <http://leksah.org/>
   - Haskell for Mac <http://haskellformac.com/>

There is an idea turning into reality that there should be a common
infrastructure powering all of the above. It is brewing in Haskell IDE
Engine <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine> repo.
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-2015#cruft-removal-reminder>Cruft
removal, reminder

Last month we declared that we plan to remove some cruft. Note that SCC
functions got salvaged and now they are fully functional part of
haskell-mode! Killing list for December:

   - Remove haskell-bot.el
   <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/960>
   - Remove horizontal whitespace based smart indentation mode
   haskell-simple-indent <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/958>
   - Remove Unicode input method
   <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/939>
   - Remove haskell-checkers.el
   <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/959>

<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-2015#current-project-focus>Current
project focus

Current project focus is to lower entry barrier for newcomers by defining
bite-sized tasks.

Get 50 'well-defined-tasks' done as by the metric:

https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-defined-task+is%3Aclosed

A 'well-defined-task' is a category of tasks that have the field cleared
for them, questions already sorted out and detailed information how to get
them done. So you can just sit, search for 'well-defined-task' label and
enjoy the coding! The point is to lower the entry barrier for new users,
new issue reporters and advanced programmers but Emacs lisp beginners to
contribute to the project.

Current status: 14 well-defined-tasks closed
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-defined-task+is%3Aclosed>
plus 13 more open
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-defined-task+is%3Aopen>
.

If only you can help with reaching our targets please do so!
