Haskell is a pure functional language. The Debian Haskell Group (DHG for friends!) is the team committed to packaging and maintaining a working and up-to-date Haskell environment and library in Debian.
Upstream references
http://www.haskell.org/ -- Haskell main web site
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/ -- Cabal (Common Architecture for Building Applications and Libraries), a program used to distribute many Haskell packages. Importing in Debian cabalized Haskell packages is quite an easy task, because most of the packaging and metadata writing work is already done. This is why we accept in Debian nearly only Cabal packages (nearly all Haskell packages are cabalized, though, so that's not a very restrictive decision).
http://hackage.haskell.org/ -- Hackage, the main Haskell packages archive; nearly any Haskell package you can find is here.

TODO list
A raw list of things to do, hoping that somedays someone will start working on them...
- Fix policy, which is very old
- Adapt it to the current best-practises and haskell-devscripts workflow
Description guidelines, see for example http://lists.debian.org/4C2FA27F.50303@poisson.phc.unipi.it
- Fix wiki pages, which are very old too (some examples are completely deprecated)
- Create some Lintian test specific for Haskell packages
- Include --datasubdir=$(DEB_CABAL_PACKAGE) in hlibrary.mk
Libraries worth packaging: ?/PackageTODO
Relevant packages
?GHC is now being team maintained
