Hi Gabi Unfortunately 'stability' is only an optional field in cabal files, so some projects will display it but others don't. Roel van Dijk has a nice project that allows you to see reverse dependencies for packages in HackageDB and this gives you a popularity rank. As a rule of thumb, a package won't be very popular if it is unstable... http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-October/067765.html http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/hackage/packages/hackage.html http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/hackage/packages/archive/revdeps-list.h... You can judge inactivity by last release, but some great packages 'just work' so don't need updating. Best wishes Stephen
