Hi all,

Following up on my proposal for extended package documentation options
sent to the list recently [1], I have a question to the community.
During the hackathon part of the User Group Meeting, I implemented the
proposal (cfr. [2]) for `module help`.  Now, the question came up
which of the information should also be included in the `whatis`
output and how.  Would something in key/value style, like

        Description: Bla bla
        Usage: More bla
        Homepage: http://foo.org
        Documentation: $EBROOTFOO/some/path
        Documentation: http://some.url
        Support: [email protected]
        Contact: Jim Admin
        Contact: Jane Admin
        Extensions: ext1-0.1, ext2-42.7

work for the community?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Markus
