I ask a bit on haskell cafe what they were thinking about my proposal and some people thought that the proposal does not have much chance, especially without a mentor. So can any of you be the mentor for this project?
I know it is asking a lot of work and if none of you want to do this, it's okay; but it would be great if I could do this summer of code! Many thanks!
