The Haskell Platform Infrastructure Team helps to coordinate the platform release process, mainly by creating a 6-monthly release schedule, and keeping everyone informed about the various stages of that schedule. We work for the developer community, helping everyone to work together and make progress. We try not to get in the way. The platform itself is maintained as a cabal file, some scripts and tools, and a website: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/.

Please report any Haskell Platform bugs through our Github tracker.
