Add two more HLS project ideas #181
Conversation
| The [`hls-cabal-plugin`](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/tree/master/plugins/hls-cabal-plugin) is a Haskell Language Server (HLS) plugin that allows HLS to be a Language Server for `.cabal` files as well as Haskell files. | ||

Yeah, I have even more ideas, but I figured, it might be fun to let the mentee come up with their own nice features and ideas.
| * Prompt to add unknown modules to `exposed-modules` and `other-modules` sections. | ||
| * Completion of local and non-local package names | ||
| * Completion of package version bounds | ||
| * Showing documentation for keywords and enum values. |

Maybe also hovers for package names showing the package description etc?

| * Unifying testing infrastructure of ghcide and plugins | ||
| * Enabling parallelism of test case execution | ||
| * Exploiting custom LSP messages to reduce flakiness of tests written in lsp-test |

Maybe also "Modifying lsp-test to make it easier to use reliably"?

This project idea avoids proposing modifying lsp-test itself, as it may require a bigger redesign. I feel like, we can get in a lot of low-hanging fruits without modifying lsp-test itself.

Looks great, thanks! I'm going to go ahead and merge this so these ideas are listed on the site before I submit the GSoC application. Feel free to open another PR if you want to make any changes. |
