Status of Haskell'?

[Ramana Kumar]

Dear Malcolm,

What is the current status of Haskell Prime, as far as you know?
(Is there a better way to reach the Haskell Prime committee than just
emailing the chair?)
We have a few volunteers here looking to keep Haskell Prime moving forward,
and Simon suggested following the tracks of earlier pioneers and
resuming/joining where they left off.

Cheers,
Ramana
