Hi, There are some categories on Hackage that have become so large that it is hard to find something, i.e. Data(414 packages) and Graphics (191). Thats why I suggest to use subcategories separated from the category with a dot. To show that this makes sense I made subcategories for graphics libraries at the end of this email. Whatever happens to hackage2 this would be an immediate improvement. How ------ I would volunteer for the manual categorization and let the community look over it. I could upload the changes with a script but the version number has to increase even if only the category has changed. I also don't want to be responsible for a massive spike in the upload statistics. Shouldn't the cabal file be excluded from the versioning policy? => It is allowed to upload a library with the same version number if only the cabal file has changed. One should write a notifiaction mail to all owners to reply if they don't agree. Then after a week executing the script that applies the changes.
