[Haskell-cafe] Hackage package "synopsis" sections

Hi there,

If any of you have ever used CPAN you may
 agree with me that the synopsis sections
 customarily included in each package's POD
 are generally invaluable for getting a quick
 overview of how to use the facilities
 provided by that package.

I wonder if we might be able to encourage
 the Hackage community to do something
 similar? Perhaps in the cabal description
 authors could include a synopsis with a
 few code examples?

Obviously, I ought to start the ball rolling but
 I don't actually have any code published on
 Hackage.

Any thoughts?

Richard
