I vote for adding a feature that would let people post comments/code snippets to the documentation of other peoples packages :)

It would be even nicer if you could post comments to individual haskell definitions on the haddock page, and then hide most of them by default under an expander of some sort.

I've often spent time trying to figure out how poorly documented function(s) on someone else's package worked. Once I've figured it out, I usually have a nice little example or explanation that I could post to save other people the same trouble. Having an easy way to do this would be nice.

Basically any collaborative/wikish enhancements to the documentation on hackage packages would make me happy :)

Oh, heh, I apologize if that was more of a wall of text than I had
realized. The above wasn't a project proposal itself, more the result
of some brainstorming and some research. If you have the time to read
it, I'd really appreciate your feedback.

In fewer words, what kinds of features would benefit the community
most for Hackage?
