Do you mean sample code, or sample full-fledged apps? Either way, I don't think it make sense to have it on the main page, but trying to have a link to sample code for each library seems like a very good idea. On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 5:49 PM, Thomas Hartman < thomashartman1@googlemail.com> wrote:

Personally the first thing I look for is a sample app(s), so I would include this prominently in the thinking somehow.

Inspiration for this e-mail comes from a post on reddit[1]. I think it's time as a web development community we work together on the overall Haskell web brand. We need a well thought out approach to organizing the information we have on the Wiki, and some people to be responsible for keeping it up to date. At the moment, the main web programming page[2] is (in my opinion) horribly disorganized, and presents the wrong information first. We also have a number of smaller pages floating around [3][4][5]

in theory could be subsumed into a more general framework.

The first step I believe is to create a single page that categorizes all of the web projects, gives a brief description, and links to more information. One thing this main page should *not* do is give information like how to create a static binary[6]. So here's a start at the categories I think we should put in: Servers, eg happstack, snap Interfaces, eg Hack, WAI. Perhaps it should be included in servers? Templating: HStringTemplate, Hamlet, HSP HTML combinators: blaze, html, xhtml. Perhaps included in templating? Storage: HDBC, macid Controllers: web-routes, UrlDisp Frameworks: yesod, kibro, turbinado, happstack, snap Misc: authenticate, openid, clientsession Let's try to get a single page that contains as much of a high-level overview as possible. Just imagine if people new to Haskell could go to one page, get up-to-date information and make informed decisions about their choice in tools.
