Hello. This is one of the culture shocks that a new Racketeer would face, and so was I. But this statement makes it clear to me: Racket is an operating system that pretend to a programming language; Yes, it may totally be a kind of over reading here. Say, I do not care if a manual page is the

I was also going to suggest the ring system as a way of giving more information without imposing an unnecessary artificial distinction. In general I'm enthusiastic about the benefits of not having a sharp dividing line, but it would be useful to show more clearly in the documentation which

Rather than splitting "core packages" from "community packages", what if we used the package ring system? [1] We could establish a way for the Racket community to bless packages with "ring zero" status, then provide a --catalog argument to Scribble to lookup ring information in when deciding

I agree that in the TOC of the docs it would probably be better to separate third party packages, maybe simply as a dedicated section or add '(contributed package)' next to it. On 30 Jan 2017 9:13 pm, "Matthew Butterick" wrote: On Jan 30, 2017, at 11:42 AM, Leif Andersen

Putting the logo in the corner or line under the title solves only half of the problem, IMHO. Yes, you can determine which packages are core and which are community, however you still can't differentiate at a glance which is which. Although it is an improvement, it is still a pain in practice

So, I really don't care how it work. Logo is fine, seperate website is fine. Checkboxes that lets users say what packages come in are fine. Yelp reviews are fine (although if we go down that route can we also add Edit buttons. ;) ) My only concern is that at the moment, anyone can publish

FWIW, I have to support Ethan here. (At least a little bit). I really how user installed packages (and collections) in Racket feel like first class citizens. Its very nice, both that its rewarding when I make a new package, but also in terms of searching for documentation and whatnot. However,
