Description
## Brief Summary
This chapter should cover the most important basic properties for a cabal package. These are the top level properties in a `.cabal` file. It is important to be thoughtful about the ramifications of specific properties i.e. the `name` field needs to be globally unique across the hackage archive! Another consideration is that this guide is not intended to be reference material, but rather a user guide, so its important to take into account what a user needs to know vs all the minute details.
