Yes, I'd like uploader dates/names too. Something like: xmonad-0.3 - July 2007 > I'd like to see: > links to project home pages, That's already provided via the 'homepage: ' field, see, e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xmonad > darcs (devel) repositories, yes, I'd support a 'repository: ' field. > email address of maintainers. handled by the 'maintainer: ' field > I'd also like browsable README and ChangeLog or similar. And what about a > darcs-graph plot? a link to the README might be good. If there was a 'repository' field, we could automatically compute the darcs-graph, a la, http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/images/commits/community/ Who's our SoC hackage guy?
