it's the nicest problem i can imagine :)
For browsing libraries, I like the wiki pages much more than hackage. Can't those two be merged into one?
may be we just need alternative single-page listing with FULL package descriptions instead of brief one. this should be rather close in amount of information to old wiki. "Categories" section on top of page should be enough for anyone who need pages split by category many years ago i already proposed to extend hackage to include information about general entities, not only packages uploaded to it. unfortunately, its author was not interested in this. i still think that joining up HCAR, libraries&tools wiki pages and hackage into the one information source will give us significant benefits, making searching of needed library easier, especially for casual haskellers. as you can see, in many cases, haskellers think that some libraries doesn't exist just because it's hard to find them -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
