Hi there,
If any of you have ever used CPAN you may agree with me that the synopsis sections customarily included in each package's POD are generally invaluable for getting a quick overview of how to use the facilities provided by that package.
I wonder if we might be able to encourage the Hackage community to do something similar? Perhaps in the cabal description authors could include a synopsis with a few code examples?
Obviously, I ought to start the ball rolling but I don't actually have any code published on Hackage.
Any thoughts?

I'd love to see it work similar to the new changelog feature. Imagine if you could add a `Synopsis.md` file to your cabal sdist, and Hackage rendered it to HTML and displayed it? Michael
