Gearing up (again) for the next release: 2014.2.0.0

[Mark Lentczner]

Well - here's where we are:

I'm still trying to finish the new build for the platform. The work can be
seen here:

haskell/haskell-platform at
new-build<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/tree/new-build>


*Please check over the current state of the packages and versions for
2014.1: *

https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/new-build/hptool/src/Releases2014.hs

​
*If you make distributions*, please see the README and try building, at
very build the source tar ball, then run through your packaging process.
Even better would be if you can get you packaging process integrated into
the build.

If you feel like helping there are several areas that need help:

   - If you want to hack the build, check out the TO DO list:

   https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/new-build/notes/BUILD-NEW#L105
   - The wiki (now on github) can use some love: Home ·
   haskell/haskell-platform
Wiki<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/wiki>
   - The issue list (now on github) can use some love: Issues ·
   haskell/haskell-platform<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/issues?state=open>
   - If you want to hack the plan for automatically generating the website,
   contact me
   - If you want to hack the plan for including automated testing into the
   build, contact me
   - If you want to bring up a continuous build system for the platform
   (pretty please), contact me

Let's make it happen!

- Mark
