1. Why can&#39;t the platform download site be hosted on <a href="http://www.haskell.org">www.haskell.org</a> instead of <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org">hackage.haskell.org</a>? I see that there&#39;s a redirect, but (imho) it would be ideal to have <a href="http://www.haskell.org/platform">www.haskell.org/platform</a> be the standard URL in my browser. It is easier to remember (for typing) and more obvious (for appearances).<br>

<br>2. What is the difference between &quot;Haskell&quot; and the &quot;Haskell Platform&quot;? I
 see one or the other in various places. To get from <a href="http://www.haskell.org">www.haskell.org</a> to downloading the Mac software, I go through &quot;Download Haskell,&quot; &quot;Get the Haskell Platform &gt; Mac,&quot; and &quot;Download Haskell for Mac OS X (intel).&quot;<br>


<br>3. By looking at <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html">http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html</a> , I have no idea what I&#39;m going to get when I click the &quot;Download Haskell for Mac OS X (intel)&quot; link. It would be nice to know what I&#39;m getting myself into before I commit to waiting for this 137.9 MB file. Thanks to the wonder of deep links, one can also not be expected to traverse the path that I did in #2. Similarly, if I come to this link directly, I have no easy way of navigating to try to figure out what &quot;Haskell&quot; or &quot;GHC&quot; is.<br>

<br>4. The current link for the Mac image points to 
<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.1.0.0/haskell-platform-2010.1.0.1-i386.dmg">http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.1.0.0/haskell-platform-2010.1.0.1-i386.dmg</a>
 . Note the inconsistency between the version in the directory and file names.<br><br>5. The directions on <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html">http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html</a> say:<br><br>

  After downloading:<br>    * Open the .dmg file<br>    * Follow the install instructions<br><br>  I see no &quot;install instructions&quot; in the .dmg file. I only see the following files:<br>    * GHC-6.12.1-i386.pkg<br>

    * Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.1.pkg<br>    * Uninstall GHC<br><br>6. Since there are no &quot;install instructions,&quot; I am not sure which .pkg to install first. Of course, fix #3 and you hopefully fix this one.<br>
<br>
7. Why can&#39;t I have a single .pkg file? Why do I have an &quot;Uninstall GHC&quot; and not an &quot;Uninstall Haskell Platform&quot;?<br><br>--<br><br>I don&#39;t expect all of the above to necessarily have a direct solution. They are just my observations to share. Some of them are from the point of view of a newcomer, and some are from a perfectionist.<br>
