<div>A Cook Book is good but relies on people specifically working on it. I think most of the package authors submit their packages because they themselves need the modules in his real world.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think package authors adding examples in the Descriptions section is a good start when they submit their packages. You do want to facilitate people understanding and using your modules, right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe later on we can add an Example section to Description, Synopsis, and Documentation sections produced by Haddock.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, having a section for comments is helpful. This is the case especially when there are several similar packages coexisting, comments can help people choose which one to use.</div>
