You can read about the complete proposal here: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hackage_wiki_page_per_project_discussion Benefits: If something doesn't work for you should contact the author/ maintainer or the mailinglist. But if you find a workaround you can put it online immediately. You should remove it again after having discussed the issue with maintainers. However they may be on holidays.. So if you've had minor trouble getting started with a package and if you think that some small examples would have helped you in the past you should register at the haskellwiki and write about your experiences so that I get a understanding of whether this idea improves your experience or makes it worse. Of course not all wiki pages will be maintained. So it's very likely that you find outdated information. But I personally think that one tip is worth 10 outdated wiki pages or such (?) Additionally are you interested in helping removing outdated content when you find such ? You'll find a link to the haskell-cafe mailinglist thread on the wiki page as well. Hopefully most wiki pages are empty or contain links to the project pages only because there are no issues and you understand everything immediately :) Thank you for your feedback Marc Weber
