Hi, The hackage web page confuses me: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html As a user, when I go to that page, I would be seeking one of four pieces of information: 1) How to install a cabal package 2) How to create and upload a cabal package 3) What packages are on hackage 4) What is hackage The first paragraph answers question 4, before pointing off at the trac pages, which contain similar and overlapping information, as well as completely other stuff. The second paragraph basically answers 3 and 1, but in rather roundabout ways, not including a link to the answer to 3, but including a link about CabalInstall which you can't use yet. The rest of the page is notes for the hackage developers. I just went to hackage looking for the answer to question 2. I can't find it. I have a rough idea where some of the information might be hiding, but we really need a walkthrough tutorial - and I'm sure I've seen one of these before. I would think something more like the style of this might work better: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~socs235/welcome.htm Hackage has now graduated from being a nice idea to being a critial user-focused thingy, which is great. Perhaps the website needs a little bit of thought along those lines. This isn't intended to be a complaint at all - just a new perspective to the people who develop it and probably don't read the web page at all. Thanks Neil
