I think there are two reasons to browse the hackage database.
First reason reflects the common need to find a library that suites one's
needs. In this case it's very easy to find it with google adding hackage
haskell to the submitted word list.
Second reason is to have a nice landscape of

Hi,
There are some categories on Hackage that have become so large that it
is hard to find something, i.e. Data(414 packages) and Graphics (191).
Thats why I suggest to use subcategories separated from the category
with a dot. To show that this makes sense I made subcategories for
graphics

Why not hierarchical tags? (Tags organized in directories, well, basically,
tags with slashes or dots)
This is the most flexible IMHO.

Well, what is the difference between a tag and a category? The second sounds
more mathematical.
Although it doesn't exist (yet), tags would support a filtering view.
As for categories, I'll be the first to play the joker

I think I agree. For instance, I just uploaded fix-imports and had to
decide which categories it is in. It manages imports, which is

Hi, all!
Now, with the approaching new Hackage server, I thought that to organize
packages into subcategories would be useful. Categories like System or
Text, with almost 200 packages, make more difficult to find what you
want. Data category has currently 326 packages, many of them with very
Perhaps, this is madness, but I wanted to read other opinions on this topic.
Packages already have multiple tags, right? So how about a search box
that uses ANDed tags (in addition to description etc), and a browsing
interface where you can see tags of packages matching the current
search, and

That might be easier than trying to fit everything into one hierarchy.
Some packages can go in more than one place.
I have not contradicted that. A package can go somewhere. For example:
CAT. A
* SUBCAT. A1
** Pack. 1
*
