[Haskell-community] On the design used for haskell.org

[Christopher Done]

[Re-sending to the curiously conceived haskell-community list.]

Hello,

It's been two years (2014) since I published my design (
http://chrisdone.com/posts/haskell-lang), which came about because I wasn't
happy with what was on haskell.org and how it was maintained. After that I
was approached about using my design for haskell.org, I wasn't thrilled
about handing over my work to be committee'd to death, and was initially
shocked into nearly giving up on the whole business, but was turned around
for the good of the Haskell community in general. In the end my fast horse,
having waded through months of officialism, became a camel. It took one
year. One year for the actual site to be deployed (2015) and now in 2016
it's still lacking clear coherent vision. I applied to be a committee
member which wasn't considered worthy of reply. And since 2014 I've lost
any energy in dealing with "the committee".

So I'm going on record that I don't approve of the current haskell.org, nor
your use of my design, and would like haskell.org to be reset to what you
had before; the wiki. I don't expect much to happen (as usual), but that's
kind of the point.

Going our separate ways,

Ciao!
