If you find that there was something missing in the wiki pages (e.g. if you do something and then we tell you that it should be done differently), please improve the wiki pages :-) Also make sure you subscribe to d-haskell and pkg-haskell-maintainers; I’ll stop CC’ing you now. > To begin with, I would like to package the software "misfortune", as > requested in the wiki TODO page[1].

I’m not sure if misfortune is really pretty easy, as it has some hairy licensing issues, with all those quotes from dubious sources. Also, I am not fully convinced that it is a package that is very useful in Debian’s context. But of course if you disagree, don’t let me hold you back! Another, related, task that I might suggest is testing the lambdabot package in the Version in the darcs repo and see if all features work as intended, and also check which features are useless for a local lambdabot and should be removed. The TODO page is slightly out of date, some of the packages are in NEW right now. To be precise: All lambdabot dependencies on the page have been packaged or patched out of lambdabot. I’ll remove them from the list. With the other packages I am also not so sure any more. fay, for example, is interesting, but fast moving and there are promising competitors (e.g. haste), we should wait for things to settle.
