Editorial = Just "Greetings, Haskellites! As many of you have already heard, Don Stewart has passed on the editorship of the HWN to me (Brent Yorgey).  I'd like to thank Don and John Goerzen for their great work putting it together in the past, and I'm excited to make the HWN once again into a reliable, useful compendium of happenings in the Haskell community. You can expect to see a few changes---for example, hackage uploads will no longer be listed in the HWN (unless they are announced on the haskell or haskell-cafe mailing lists), since you can now see a dynamically updated list on the front page of the Haskell wiki.  This edition includes all the announcements going back to Issue 71, but only some of the blog posts, since I couldn't find a way to get old feed data from Planet Haskell.  Hopefully next week things will settle down to something more normal(ish) and I can begin tinkering with the format. Feel free to send suggestions and/or stories for inclusion to me, byorgey at gmail dot com. Enjoy---'Putting the W back in HWN!'",
