\section*{rosezipper}
Eric Kow (kowey) announced the release of rosezipper, Krasimir Angelov and Iavor S. Diatchki's Data.Tree implementation of zippers.
 
\section*{list-extras 0.1.0}
wren ng thornton (koninkje) announced the initial release of list-extras, a home for common not-so-common list functions.
 
\section*{Sun Microsystems and Haskell.org joint project on OpenSPARC}
Duncan Coutts (dcoutts) announced a joint project between Sun Microsystems and the Haskell.org community to exploit the high performance capabilities of Sun's latest multi-core OpenSPARC systems via Haskell! Sun has donated a powerful 8 core SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server to the Haskell community, and \$10,000 to fund a student to further develop support for high performance Haskell on the SPARC. The student will work with a mentor from Haskell.org and an adviser from Sun's SPARC compiler team. If you're a student and this sounds interesting to you, send in those applications!!
 
\section*{Hayoo! beta 0.2}
Timo B. announced the second beta release of Hayoo!, a Haskell API search engine providing advanced features like suggestions, find-as-you-type, fuzzy queries and much more. The major change in this release is the inclusion of all packages available on Hackage in the index.
 
\section*{Haskell-beginners mailing list}
Benjamin L. Russell announced the creation of the Haskell-Beginners Mailing List, beginners at haskell.org, devoted to discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell. It's already off to a great start, so if you're a Haskell beginner, or someone interested in answering beginner questions, please subscribe!
 
\section*{Haskeline 0.2}
Judah Jacobson announced the initial (alpha-ish) release of Haskeline, a library for line input in command-line programs. It is similar in purpose to editline or readline, but is written in Haskell and thus (hopefully) more easily used in other Haskell programs.

\section*{Quotes}
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{kryptiskt} my point is that our brain isn't some logic machine, it's a jury-rigged contraption to help us get food, friends and sex. It's the Perl of intelligences.
\item \emph{Fallacy} peyton `simon` jones
\item \emph{Quadrescence} [on \#haskell] Well, the nice population here attracts people. Unlike other pla\_C\_es. How'd those underscores get there?
\item \emph{mauke} hmm, regexes get even more cryptic after z-encoding: ZLz3fUZCZLz3fUzlznzrwZRZLz3fUzezrwZRzbZLz3fUzlzezrwZRZLz3fUznzrwZRZR
\item \emph{BMeph} Haskell: Where even the newest newcomer acts monadically: join :: ask (ask something) -> ask something
\item \emph{Quadrescence} quicksilver: You must be an anthropomorphic robot or something.
