- This document started as a collection of notes describing what <a
- href="mailto:chak@cse.unsw.edu.au">I</a> learnt when poking around in
- the <a href="http://haskell.org/ghc/">GHC</a> sources. During the
- <i>Haskell Implementers Workshop</i> in January 2001, it was decided to
- put the commentary into
- <a href="http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/">GHC's CVS
- repository</a>
- to allow the whole developer community to add their wizardly insight to
- the document.
- <p>
- <strong>The document is still far from being complete - help it
- grow!</strong>
