Hackage is missing one feature: It is very static. I mean if you have a patch or a question or a comment you have to lookup the darcs repository, write the patch then contact the author and wait.. If the author replies everything is fine. If he doesn't you don't know what to do. And if he does your commitment still doesn't show up on hackage.
Using a wiki page for each project enables anybody to add comments. I'm thinking about this kind of comments:
"Interlude doesn't work for me. It looks like the interlude.h file passes a tuple to the reportError function which doesn't expect a tuple. You can fix it by removing the "," in the .h file. Try this patch: http://github.com/MarcWeber/haskell-nix-overlay/blob/master/patches/interlud... "
From there you can construct the initial pages of the wiki in a manner
One thing you can do today is enter a homepage URL into your .cabal file which is a link to the haskell-wiki. that makes it obvious you welcome participation. This also means we're not creating a wiki for the more mature projects like darcs whose hompage already is a wiki, and who have active mailing lists and the like. Antoine
