Hi all I had a chat with Duncan Coutts of Well-Typed about the possibility of an extension to hackage which would allow private packages to be uploaded and managed by hackage, for a fee. The idea is that it operates in a similar fashion to GitHub, where public packages are free, but there is a monthly fee for hosting private packages. This would give commercial organisations wanting to get started with Haskell a simple way to host their packages, so that members of the organisation could see the private and public packages when logged in, and cabal install would work as expected with the superset. Duncan is worried about the up-front effort required vs an uncertain return. Personally I think that this could be a good way to fund the hackage infrastructure. So the question is, apart from me, would anyone be interested in such a feature? Regards Alan
