You should remove the colon and the end of the url.  I was about to report
the site down until I noticed the colon.

>        "Learn at least one new [programming] language every year.
>        Different languages solve the same problems in different
>        ways. By learning several different approaches, you can help

>      couple of Ruby programmers, David Alan Black and Chad Fowler,
>      came up with the idea of forming an online community to share in
>      the process of learning new languages.  We're proud to host LotY

>   How to Participate
>
>     The LotY community meets over on the "pragprog" Yahoo! group
>     (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pragprog).  There we'll talk about
>     progress, coordinate resources, and discuss the books we're
>     reading. You can read and post messages through the Web or by
>     email.  A couple of introductory messages have already been
>     posted to the group.
>
>     There's also a LotY IRC channel, #loty, on the Open Projects
>     Network (irc.openprojects.net).

>     This year's language is Haskell. We've chosen Haskell because it's
>     a popular functional programming language, and we're interested in
>     learning more about the functional programming paradigm. There are
>     free implementations, online tutorials, and some good Haskell
>     books.
