We now need more early adopters to add their packages and otherwise try it out. All comments welcome.
How do I specify what category(ies) a package should inhabit? I can see that the cabal Category: field would be a likely candidate, but not all packages in the database have that in their .cabal files, so I'm wondering if there's some other mechanism that I haven't found yet. There's nothing on the upload page.
Yes, it's the Category field. It can also contain more than one category, separated by commas. There is no agreed list of category names yet. (If you omit the Category field, there's a kludge using the top levels of the part of the module hierarchy that you've used.)
