I agree.  We actually have two contenders already for the site:

	1. The Smalltalk archive at UIUC.

	2. The Swiki


At this point, we are still lacking a critical mass of projects posted. 
There aren't enough projects posted, that someone is likely to go
searching through either of the above sites for interesting Squeak code.

As a smaller improvement, it sure would be nice if the Swiki pages were
better organized.  Do we really need separate Goodies, Packages, and
Tools pages?  Furthermore, the current listings are pretty hard to read,
because they just dump the information in a long list.


Anyway, once such a thing gets started, it should grow like mad.
