We could even set up NotOnHackage: a "package" repository just like Hackage, except the packages are just documentation on why there is no such package. Implementation-wise it's just a wiki; but the idea is about how to organize the wiki. NotOnHackage should be organized and searchable similar to Hackage itself, so that people can look there when nothing looks promising on Hackage.
Couldn't this be actually on hackage, so one search turns up what you want?
Yes. There is no reason to put up a second Hackage for that one. Without changing anything in the current system, packages can just update their categories, so that they will be displayed below "Defunct" or something like that. This is fine, as only the categories of the latest version are significant. If you think this is a good idea, I will start with some of my packages. =) Greets, Ertugrul -- Not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and ... that is the list monad.
