+Hi,
+
+We had a meeting of the Mercury group on Fri Oct 13, 3:15pm to 4:05pm.
+
+Attendees:
+ David Jeffery <dgj>
+ David Overton <dmo>
+ Mark Brown <dougl>
+ Zoltan Somogyi <zs>
+ Tyson Dowd <trd>
+ Fergus Henderson <fjh>
+ Simon Taylor <stayl>
+
+1. Progress reports.
+
+ We went around the table, with each person in turn discussing what
+ they had been working on recently and/or what they were planning
+ to work on.
+
+ David Jeffery <dgj>:
+ - Has been working on a paper on existential types (with fjh).
+ - Has been debugging the typeclass bug reported by Nancy
+ Mazur (which is the same bug as was previously
+ reported by Tom Conway).
+
+ David Overton <dmo>:
+ - Had been finished off the change to support polymorphic modes
+ (i.e. allowing inst variables which can be instantatied
+ to any ground inst in mode declarations).
+ This will be committed soon (although it still suffers
+ from performance problems which may be an impediment
+ to using it widely).
+
+ - Has been working on getting higher order working in
+ the new modechecker.
+
+ Mark Brown <dougl>:
+ - Has been working on extending the debuggers support
+ for parameter passing to the browser.
+ - Some discussion ensued about how to implement
+ persistent parameters for browsing preferences.
+ - Decided to implement a system where you could change
+ preferences inside the main debugger, or inside the
+ browser, and such changes would be persistent.
+ Later support could be added for making non-persistent
+ changes.
+
+ Zoltan Somogyi <zs>:
+ Nothing particular to report.
+
+ Tyson Dowd <trd>
+ Has been working on the IL back-end changes which have
+ now all been reviewed.
+
+ Some discussion about how it isn't yet possible to
+ bootstrap because of the missing library components
+ (parts written in C don't run out of the box on .NET)
+
+ Tyson mentioned that Mission Critical was interested in
+ help us port the library to C# (or some backend) for the
+ .NET port.
+
+ Simon Taylor <stayl>
+ Simon has been working on Aditi, and gave some
+ information on what tasks still need to be completed
+ before Aditi could be released.
+
+ Fergus Henderson <fjh>
+
+ - Has been busy refereeing papers and reviewing
+ changes.
+
+ - Was interviewed by a journalist recently.
