Month in haskell mode March 2015

Thu Apr 2 12:11:23 BST 2015

Welcome haskell-mode users,

haskell-mode development is progressing forward. This document summarizes
last month, that is March 2015.

This document is available online March 2015
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-haskell-mode-February-2015>.
For previous issue see February 2015
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-haskell-mode-February-2015>
.

<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-haskell-mode-March-2015#what-is-haskell-mode>What
is haskell-mode?

haskell-mode is a Haskell editing mode for Emacs. haskell-mode is open
source, developed by a group of volunteers. For more information see
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode.

developments

Biggest highlight of last month is that hi2 (haskell indentation second
try) from https://github.com/nilcons/hi2 got merged into haskell-mode in
place of haskell-indentation. Thanks go to kuribas and nilcons for the
great work! hi2 code is of high quality and has beginnings of a test suite.
That should enable us to react to bug reports and feature requests in a
reasonable time. We encourage everybody to check out haskell-indentation:

(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'haskell-indentation)

Meanwhile github issue list was cleaned up letting us have better overview
about status of haskell-mode project. Note though that the report below
includes many old issues that got closed recently so not everything on this
list a new development.

next target

Current project focus is lowering the entry barrier for new users, new
issue reporters and first time contributors.

Goal: 100 haskell-mode contributors.

A 'contributor' is measured according to github stats at
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/graphs/contributors

Current status is 78/100.
