See "Conception, evolution, and application of functional programming
languages" by Paul Hudak. That's a great starting point for a "History of
Haskell" page:

http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=72551.72554

Matthew Donadio suggested it to me for the Learning Haskell page, but your
future history page seems like a better place to me.

You're welcome to steal the simple layout of the Learning Haskell page and
maybe someone will make you a logo...

Greetings, Arjan
