Hi Göran,
Please let me know what you think of my first effort so far:

Cheers, Darius
I like this indexing work! You basically take on the responsibility of a librarian. And from that point of view it is fine to have the consent of the authors, but not it is not needed in any case.
I also like it.
Göran, is it possible to go one and directly implement this as an additional experimental view on to SqueakMap to test if people are happy with it? (The newer entries automatically be categorized as 'New' in the view of Darius until he finds time to update it).
Hmmm.... Well, having a parallell categorization... is tricky. The best would probably be if we could allow me/Darius to make categorization changes to existing packages. We could take care recording how it was before our changes so that we can easily revert stuff if the owners get annoyed.
We would of course only touch the categories that describe the domain of the packages and not other more sensitive categories - like license for example :).
Anyway, please give Darius more feedback (typically on this thread or another) to give us some indication of what you all think.

PS. Regarding putting the SqueakMap Loader into flaps etc - yes, the SMLoader should be "sanitized" regarding these de facto standards - if I were to do it I would simply copy from SUnit. This also includes fixing the messed up colors etc. If anyone would like to take on this work I would gladly receieve a .mcz or a .cs. :)
