Hi all, I really like the idea of yi, and the execution seems good overall. The down side for me as a Haskell beginner is that both the code and the build setup are more complex than I can handle at this point. It has already taken me in the neighborhood of 15 hours for a recent attempt to install it on one of the boxes I use. In reaction, my plan is to make a version of yi that is easier to install and hack for beginners like me. I got started by removing the dependencies on GTK and Cocoa, and I will probably remove the dynamic Haskell config stuff until I can come up with a solution that doesn't confuse me as much. I hope someone else finds the fork useful. Please feel free to cherry pick any changes you like, and report issues as you find them (https:// github.com/ijt/yi/issues).
