Obviously it could be a lot prettier. Also package upload uses the same logins as the GHC Wiki, but we'd want to change that.
I've added a form that does a few sanity checks on packages.
At some point we need to agree a list of category names (or to just use the top level of the module hierarchy instead).
Regarding this, we'll make things (a little) easier by reusing (roughly) the categories from existing package systems. Some kind of intersectoin between say, openbsd and debian and gentoo. Here's the openbsd package categories: [DIR] archivers/ [DIR] astro/ [DIR] audio/ [DIR] benchmarks/ [DIR] biology/ [DIR] books/ [DIR] cad/ [DIR] chinese/ [DIR] comms/ [DIR] converters/ [DIR] databases/ [DIR] devel/ [DIR] editors/ [DIR] education/ [DIR] emulators/ [DIR] games/ [DIR] graphics/ [DIR] japanese/ [DIR] korean/ [DIR] lang/ [DIR] math/ [DIR] misc/ [DIR] multimedia/ [DIR] net/ [DIR] productivity/ [DIR] security/ [DIR] shells/ [DIR] sysutils/ [DIR] telephony/ [DIR] textproc/ [DIR] web/ [DIR] x11/ Merge this with say debians categories, and add our own. -- Don
