website no longer links to docs #201

Open mzero opened 9 years ago

mzero commented 9 years ago

the website used to have a links to the following docs:

ghc manual
cabal manual
haddock manual
generated haddock for all packages in the platform

It would be nice to resurrect it.

So we link to the hackage haddocks which I'm fine with -- I suppose adding static links to the manuals would be nice as well...? @erantapaa what do you think?

erantapaa commented 8 years ago

I think the main problem is that our current web design doesn't really support auxiliary links like manuals and haddocks. I shoe-horned in the "Previous Releases" link into the download banner area, but I consider that a hack.

I'm open to ideas. Perhaps we see how other language sites handle the use cases: 1) user wants to download the latest distro for their OS; and 2) user wants to browse previous releases, related docs, etc.

You probably consider this a hack, but I'd be happy with static links on the https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html page to the three listed manuals in the text, with a new section maybe right above the "included packages" one?
