After having clicked on a link that says "Contribute a Package", I<br>
don't think it is unreasonable to think that a user would know they<br>
had to give the information about the package, including fundamental<br>
information like its name.<br>
<br>
If you still disagree, I think it would be easy to submit a patch:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/meta/pkg-index/official/main.rkt#L606" target="_blank">https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/meta/pkg-index/official/main.rkt#L606</a><br>
<br>
If you'd like, I can make the patch myself, but I think it may be more<br>
productive to figure out the deeper reason why it is hard to tell that<br>
"Contribute a Package" goes to a package information form and fix<br>
that, rather than just changing a text string.<br>
