Hi everyone, Do we have a general notion of what we consider best practices for contributed code to Cabal? Perhaps we should formalise something? One of the reasons I wanted to get the wiki back online was in the hope that it had some pointers, but it doesn't seem to. (I've started migrating stuff anyway: have a look at https://github.com/haskell/cabal/wiki/Migration-from-trac for status). For example, many of the Cabal modules have explicit, and therefore quite long, import lists, with no clear organisation, and hence when adding new imports I have to read the entire list to make sure they are not already there, and then wonder where makes sense to insert them. Usually I just make something up with no pattern to it, and hence perpetuate the problem. I am happy to start things off with a proposal if no-one else wants to do the writing.
