Hear, hear. This seems to be a common "problem" in the community.
Various people (including me ;-) used Squeak to this end... oh, by the
way, Bert, how's _your_ thesis coming?! ;-)

I think that's an excellent idea. Not only has it a _huge_ coolness
factor to know that somebody is actually using your stuff, getting this
to work on a collaborative basis also means that we might be able to get
a true "all projects" directory going. Including discussions,  reviews,
recommendations etc. Perhaps we should have a "featured [goodie] [enh]
etc" of the month?!

Nope. Thanks. Not again. I'm done.

Cheers,
