[Haskell-cafe] Preview the new haddock look and take a short survey

[Ben]

Great work!

I'm sure you're already aware of

http://sphinx.pocoo.org/

which is used to generate the Python docs.  A lot of good ideas there.
 One thing which would be great would be to integrate their javascript
in-browser text search engine.  Obviously not a priority but it might
be nice.

Best, B
