I suppose something similar should be encouraged for libraries on Hackage as well. Here's what I'll do with the only library I have on there (dataenc):

1. Set the 'homepage' cabal property to point to the wiki page I created on the wiki to describe the library (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Data_encoding). 2. Add a link in the Haddock comments of every module to point to the same page.

/M

A useful example; post a link to the Haddock when you do it, would you?

It took me a while to get around to get around to it, but now it's done. I've just pushed the code to http://code.haskell.org/dataenc/devo/ and the package is uploaded to hackage (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/dataenc-0.11.1). The documentation will be rebuilt soon (I hope :-). /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus Haskell is an even 'redder' pill than Lisp or Scheme. -- PaulPotts
