I think we need an extra field Synopsis for a short summary of the package, possibly supplemented by the longer Description. This should make Hackage catalogues more readable, and could also be shown by an extended form of hc-pkg list.
I think that's a fine idea.
(repeated) License and License-File should not be mutually exclusive. They're both useful, for different purposes. Perhaps License would be more accurately called License-Type.
I would like to make the license field required without being very burdensome to the user; I feel like the license-file field is a bit more burdensome and it's hard for me to justify making it required. Do you still want to have a file as an option in the license-type field? I guess we could make either/or required. What do you think about what should be required?
Perhaps Hidden-Modules should be renamed Other-Modules, now that it is used by both libraries and executables.
Also fine by me. Thanks for the suggestions! peace, isaac
