+ 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>
