Haskell Libraries Wishlist

[John Goerzen]

Hi,

I'm checking around here to see if anybody is working on any of these
things, or alternatively, if there is any interest.

This list reflects some of the things that I think we are missing in
Haskell:

Item                           Use
------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
E-Mail header, MIME codec      Composing or parsing e-mail messages

Base64 encode/decode           Render binary strings in ASCII
                               Required to do MIME

MD5, SHA algorithms            Generate unique hashes for strings, files

(n)curses interface            Full-screen text interfaces

[ng]dbm interface              Persistent hash storage

mimetypes, mailcap support     Discover MIME types of files and
                               appropriate apps to use to handle
                               files

Maildir, mbox, MH, IMAP client Access e-mail storage systems
support

FTP, NNTP, SMTP client support Connect to appropriate servers

IPv6 Support                   Obvious :-)

------------------
I have code for the following already:
------------------

Logging infrastructure         Flexible logging of messages

Syslog support                 Log to syslog daemon

Various string utils           

(see MissingH for that stuff)

And I'm willing to help on the rest, but I don't want to be duplicating
effort of anyone else.

Thanks,

John
