Are you aware of any "heated debate" at the root of this new website? The post doesn't seem to convey this idea.

I haven't really followed it that much, but there absolutely is a debate, and at least some of the people involved are feeling some real acrimony. Here's snoyberg, one of the people behind the new website: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/4l3y9f/store_a_new...

We encourage all Haskellers to join, and to take part in lively discussions of how to improve the state of the art within Haskell.

I read it like there should be a problem to solve, but english isn't my mother tongue.

It's not mine either, but I don't read it like that. It makes sense that they would encourage people to get involved. I mostly see mentions of aging tools which, I believe, is true (I'm not a hardcore practitioner, just a curious Haskeller on my spare time).

I guess I'd like to see more in details what they are planning to do.

I hope the first one will be: solving the gui state!

English is my mother tongue, and this just reads like an invitation to the community. "Lively discussions" is sometimes a euphemism for a heated debate but I didnt get that feeling from this
