Hi all, I recently wanted to add some libraries to http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools and noticed a number of problems. Problems: - The page is very large. - Many sections are large. - Many of the libraries linked to are obsolete. - Many of the links are dead [1]. - Many of the libraries have been moved into the standard libraries. - Some libraries are listed in multiple sections (at least some CGI libraries, there might be more). - Small and large, new and old libraries are mixed, and it's difficult for the reader to asses which things are relevant. - The page is not valid XHTML, the W3C Validator finds 433 errors [2]. * The pages uses <dt> tags everywhere, even though there is Wiki markup for definition lists. This seems to be causing most of the problems. Some possible remedies: - Replace dead links with Internet Archive links - Create an "obsolete" subsection of each section, and move old stuff there. Of course it can be difficult to figure out which things are obsolete, but I guess a first approximation would be everything for which the link is dead. - For libraries which are part of the standard libraries, provide links to the haddock page for the relevant module. - Replace HTML tags with Wiki markup. I'm willing to start working on this, but I want to check with you guys first. Any comments, ideas, or flames? I guess that if I start doing major stuff like chaning the mark-up, I'll put a note at the top asking people to hold off editing for a short while. /Björn [1] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/misc/hslibs-checklink/checklink.html [2] http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.haskell.org%2Fhaskellwiki...
