How about omitting the modules of the haskell98 package from the Haskell Hierarchical Libraries documentation index? They're not particularly hierarchical, and they're documented elsewhere. Having them in the doc index makes the docs look bad.
Having a central place for documentation is rather nice, I use it as a reference all the time. If we don't want to put haddock documentation of the standard H98 libs here could we at least keep them and put a http link to where they are documented. That way if someone searches for a function name or some other part of the hierarchical libraries documentation makes reference to a standard function then the standard function will at least come up and at the top of the page it could have a link to where the function is documented. Personally I think it'd be nice to have haddock documentation for the H98 standard libs too, just as a reference. But I understand that would be rather a lot of work for someone. Duncan
