and an Emacs package for
+Haskell code browsing and exploring.  Features include:
 
-- Jump to definition (using xref)
-- Find references (based on compilation mode)
-- Search identifiers in a package or globally (based on compilation mode)
+- Jump to definition across packages
+- Find references across packages
+- Search identifiers in a package or globally
 - Highlight the identifier at point
 - Browse packages, modules and identifiers in an outline mode buffer
 - Eldoc integration, showing type and documentation of the identifier
   at point, or the selected expression.
-- Syntax highlight (requires haskell-mode)
+- Syntax highlight, either with builtin font-locks or haskell-mode
+- Show info about an identifier in a help buffer
+- Integration with [[https://g.ypei.me/haddock.git/about][haddorg]], allowing 
jumps between identifier
+  definition site and its org entry in documentation generated by
+  haddorg.

 * Use
 
-The main entry points are two commands: ~hcel~, which opens up an
-hcel-outline mode buffer, which you can use to browse all packages,
-modules and identifiers in outline mode, and open any module source or
-jump to the definition of any identifier you like; ~hcel-package~
-prompts you for a package id, followed by a module path, to open the
-module source.  If you want to search for an identifier, the command
-~hcel-global-ids~ is for you.
+There are several entry points:
+- ~hcel~ opens up an hcel-outline mode buffer, where you can
+  browse all packages, modules and identifiers in outline mode, and
+  open any module source or jump to the definition of any identifier you like;
+- ~hcel-package~ prompts you for a package id, followed by a module
+  path, to open the module source.
+- ~hcel-global-ids~ lets you search for identifiers globally, and
+  either jump to the source (in case of a hit) or display search
+  results.
+- ~hcel-help~ lets you search for identifiers globally and displays
+  the result in a help buffer.
+
+* TODOs
+
+Most of these TODOs likely require changes to the server program.
+
+- Navigation between identifiers within the help buffer.
+- Awareness of all modules exporting an identifier (like hoogle)
+- Requesting server to index a new package, or re-index an updated
+  one.
