as a fellow haskell newbie, i would like to take this opportunity to encourage library authors to submit their material to the haskell hackage.
the haskell infrastructure is rather big, complex and "organic". (see e.g. http://darcs.haskell.org/tmp/ for an example) it was only by chance that i ran across the (rather amazing) htam library a week ago or so. i hope you agree that these things should not be left to chance ;-)
hoogle, google and hackage tend to be the first places where i look for fresh meat. i suppose this also applies to other haskell freshmen.
I suspect, that a Hackage package let you think that my sandbox is something fixed and well-done, which is certainly not true. Why didn't Google lead you to http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools/Mathematics#Miscellan... ? Of course, I would like to get indexed in haskell.org/hoogle - but how to do that?
