[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Portackage - a hackage portal

[Andrew Seniuk]

Hello,

This is to announce a provisional webpage to summarise hackage.haskell.org.

http://www.fremissant.net/portackage

It is a lot of data, so will be a bit slow to load. Columns can be
sorted by clicking the headers, but this will also take some seconds
on a typical client. The initial sort is by module name.  Clicking a
table row links to the project page on hackage.

Although I believe this is a complete list of all packages/modules in
hackage, it is probably still buggy, so if you see anything amiss
please let me know. Also, a subsequent version in the near future will
update automatically based on the
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.rss RSS feed, but
for now it's based on a recent snapshot. Haskell code which prepares
the page will be released after a few more days testing and
refinement.

Some previous work [1] provided a list of all modules, but is not
being maintained, and I was unable to rearouse the author's interest.

Feature requests and suggestions are welcome!

Kind Reg'ds,
Andrew Seniuk
