CUFP static pages to the site.

Kathleen,
I think it'd be cool to set up our own wiki... we'll a couple of versions of
a wiki with the same underlying data store. Basically, have wiki
implementations in Lift, HaPPs, ErlyWeb, etc. all hitting the same back-end
data store. This way we'd be self-hosting on functional languages and it'd

On the CUFP home page ([link]), there are links to the
CUFP Google group ([link]) and to a set of wiki
pages for CUFP ([link]).
The wiki pages are already set up with pages for jobs, companies using
FP, universities using FP, resumes, etc., although the pages are

In tandem with this step, I think we need to gather the list of as
many people as we can who are using various functional languages. I
imagine this should be federated by community (since, for example, I
think haskell.org is doing a reasonable job for the Haskell

Folks,
During the last hour of the most excellent CUFP meeting in Victoria, there

distilled list of stuff:

I could do some scouting on Thursday afternoon and maybe we can agree to
meet up on Friday after the session and I can present some options of places
to go.

I would be interested in dinner on Friday as well. Does anyone have a good spot in mind?

I did that, too, I think. It was the post-twiddling rates that Rogers
prepaid wasn't competitive with. That is a good alternative for any
AT&T users (since the $3.99/mo beats a $40 setup fee unless you keep
coming back to Canada).

I was able to call back to the office and get some bits twiddled on my
AT&T plan for data and cheaper roaming (on Rogers), you may also want
to try that if you're here from the US. It seems to be working pretty
well, I get 3G on my iPhone.

I'd suggest Friday as there is already the career opportunities
reception Thursday evening (so a dinner feels conflicting). And, on a
personal level, I already have dinner plans for Thursday and I'd like
to come to a CUFP dinner.
Go to the Bay Centre across the bridge. There's a Rogers Wireless

Folks,
Does anyone want to plan a get-together on Thursday or Friday night during
the CUFP conference in Victoria?
Also, does anyone know where to get prepaid SIM cards for GSM phones nearby

Thanks,
