The Haskell Foundation is sponsoring a SoC program 
(https://github.com/haskell-org/summer-of-haskell/pull/167).

There is a task list for Pandoc 
(https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1852), but many of those tasks have 
been completed. Is there an updated list of tasks somewhere?

We don't have a list right now. Here are two ideas:

- Compile an in-browser version of pandoc: There is
  <https://markup.rocks>, but it is outdated and hasn't been updated for
  years. We have restructured pandoc's modules to make it easier to
  build it without Lua, which removes the biggest non-Haskell
  dependency. The other big one is libyaml, as a pure Haskell library
  wasn't fast enough. Fixing performance issues in Haskell's YAML
  parsing, building it into pandoc and providing an in-browser version
  of pandoc would be huge.

- Improved support for OOXML: to be honest though, this is less about
  Haskell and more about reading the Office Open XML specs.
