Before coding some Haskell program I try to find most appropriate

that there are to many libraries with similar functionality (for

I agree. (Have you seen how many "binary" packages there are??)
Some people seem to think having dozens of libraries for the same task
is an "advantage" because it lets the libraries compete against each
other and the best one will win. However, I don't think this is the case
if it's too difficult to tell the libraries apart.
- allow comments on the package page, so anyone could tell its opinion
or other useful info for this package.
What do you think ?
I think this last idea is the best.
Adding a ranking is nice, but a comment lets people add highly relevant
information like "this package is good, but doesn't work properly with
Unicode" and so forth. Stuff somebody about to try using the package
would *really* want to know.
