Before coding some Haskell program I try to find most appropriate libraries, which help me to do task more efficiently. But the problem, that there are to many libraries with similar functionality (for example - networking, web servers etc.). And to find the best solution is not so obvious.
I agree. (Have you seen how many "binary" packages there are??) Some people seem to think having dozens of libraries for the same task is an "advantage" because it lets the libraries compete against each other and the best one will win. However, I don't think this is the case if it's too difficult to tell the libraries apart.
- allow comments on the package page, so anyone could tell its opinion or other useful info for this package.
What do you think ?
I think this last idea is the best. Adding a ranking is nice, but a comment lets people add highly relevant information like "this package is good, but doesn't work properly with Unicode" and so forth. Stuff somebody about to try using the package would *really* want to know.
