Hackage home page content should feature cabal install instructions
As I read the content at hackage.haskell.org, I thought about what a new user interesting in using the site would like to know. The most important question is how to use the programs and libraries provided by the site. Thus, the content that should be featured is how to install packages using cabal install assuming Haskell platform has been installed. Exploring the site might be the next topic, followed by the support section and the other topics. In short, most users want to know how to use the packages provided by the site, and not so much about the server that powers the site. John
