Projects

If you plan working on a project at the Hackathon, you can put it up here so other interested hackers can see what projects are afoot. If you don't have a project, look here and find one!

Yesod web framework

Let me know if you have anything in specific you want to hack on for Yesod. Also, come and hack on your Yesod website and get help from others. Perhaps I can give a presentation.

Greg Weber

music sequencer

I'll be working on this for a bit, but if no one else is interested I'll probably look for something else since I can work on that just as well at home :)

Evan Laforge

Yesod Blog

I'll finally have some time to use what I have learned about Yesod to build my own blog!

Michael Litchard

unordered-containers/GHC/Haskell MapReduce

I have too many projects going! I'd like to try to get a basic MapReduce framework going.

Johan Tibell

Scheme to LLVM Compiler

I'll be working on this in an attempt to learn mroe about compilers.

Adit

Yi and VTY

I'll be hacking on Yi and the VTY library.

CoreyOConnor

JPEG Decoder

I'll be working on performance improvements for my JPEG decoder

Myles C. Maxfield

Plush - the comfy shell

This is a POSIX shell with a web based front end. We have crazy ideas how to bring the interface of the shell forward 30 years! I'll be trying to get this from v0.2 to a v0.5 release that people could actually try out.

Mark Lentczner

GitStar - extensible project hosting platform

We've been working on the hails web platform framework (that's right, a framework for building multi-app web platforms!). As a demonstration we have been building a GitHub-like "clone", called GitStar, that allows users to integrate custom applications into the web platform. This allows you, for example, to build a custom notification system, wiki, code viewer, etc. We are excited to get feedback on what it's like building apps as for non-hails developers. If you are interested, we are happy to walk you thought our tutorial (building a custom blog app) and get you started.
