http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Platform section 4 talks about making distributions. So what should people be trying to do? Focus on (a) general infrastructure for packaging any Haskell library/binary on Windows (etc), or on (b) the specific task of packaging the Haskell Platform? If (b) then I don't think a whole new mailing list/wiki etc is worthwhile. (a) would obviously be nicer but is no doubt a much harder problem - I guess we'd want to start with Bamse and perhaps make use of the "nestedInstalls" feature somehow.
