   Welcome to issue 76 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the
   [1]Haskell community.

   The [2]ICFP Programming Contest is this weekend! Go forth and kick some
   butt, Haskell-style. A big thank you in advance to all those at PSU and
   U Chicago who are working hard to write and run the contest.

Community News

   Luke Palmer (luqui) is [3]having a great time in Antwerp.

   John Goerzen's son is [4]so cute, it should be illegal.

Announcements

   Haskell-cafe on lively.com. Edward Kmett has created a [5]Haskell Cafe
   room on Google's new virtual-world platform [6]Lively (which is
   unfortunately windows-only at the moment).

   Uniplate 1.2. Neil Mitchell [7]announced the release of [8]Uniplate
   1.2, a library for reducing boilerplate code by performing generic
   traversals. Version 1.2 features some bug fixes, a compatibility layer
   with Compos and SYB, and a 25-50% performance increase over Uniplate
   1.0.
