I don't think this is fair to the maintainers of Cabal and the Cabal website. You can't do work nobody asked for and then get upset if people are unwilling to adopt and maintain the unasked-for-code. That's like buying someone a puppy, when you don't even know if they like dogs. Writing software

Well, I put in a full week in this version. If this website is not usable, fair enough. Let's wait for the version that suits. ___ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
