Haskell NLP community

[Eric Kow]

Hi Adam, (congrats!)

Couple of things:

I think it'd be worth moving the homepage to something like GitHub, making it pretty etc.  Wiki could also live there.  I'm more of a Darcs guy myself, but I'll just happily keep my Darcs mirror and work with GH for convenience :-)

I did see that Aberdeen had some small experiments with Haskell in NLG.  Hope to see more like this happening.  Getting the stuff open sourced would be a great help.

I'm sorry for not being more active in pushing this community forward.  It's always sort of been a placeholder.  We can if we set our minds to it make cool things happen.  For example, I kind of wish we had one place where you can *run* web demonstrations of all the little Haskell NLP packages out there.  You know, select some canned inputs, generate output.  Then try writing some inputs of your own, etc.  Sort of a NLP specific tryhaskell.

Thanks!

And moreover, it is a very Haskell friendly department; while there is not a great deal happening, there are converging interests, which I would like to encourage; and, I am now in a position to be more active in these activities.
