Anyway, my current plan is: * lots of smallish packages, and one big "base" package which is the default search * OpenGL, wxHaskell, Gtk2Hs, Darcs, GHC API, GHC (the code base), Yhc, Parsec will all be options to search for. At some point in the future I will send out an offer to everyone if they want their package included. [...]
In the meantime it would be great if Hoogle could be made consistent with the documentation on http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/ (this is the big "base" package IMHO). Currently the differences might be quite confusing for new people.
Maybe (depending on how efficient I can make Hoogle), it can give google style hints - "there were also 3 results in OpenGL, would you like to add OpenGL to your search options".
That would be a great feature IMHO. Cheers, S.
