I'm developing a framework for artificial life experiments that I would like to make available on Hackage eventually. I've read all the guidance and proposals I could find for where to place packages in the hierarchy:

I've also examined the current hierarchy of modules:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html
The current hierarchy has a top-level AI category, so it would seem logical to me to add a top-level ALife category and put my package under that. But perhaps it would be best not to start a new top-level category? I could put my package under AI, because my framework does support the use of AI, and wouldn't look too out of place with the other packages there.
Unless you expect to upload a large number of related packages with various names, I wouldn't start a new category. Note, if your package supports multiple types of application, you can also specify multiple categories: Category: Network, Web Greets, Ertgrul -- Not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and (not to be or to be and ... that is the list monad.
