So IOhannes set up this great Plone 'product' for managing software releases a while back, and we've just done a bunch of work to get all Pure Data and Pd-extended releases into it, as well as many libraries, apps, and 0.43 GUI plugins.  It has the great advantage of allowing everyone to add their own apps, libraries, etc. Here's the page:

I'm posting this out there to get people to put their own stuff on it, give feedback on how it works, and perhaps recruit someone to do some Plone-python-CSS magic to make the page look nice.

Well, it would be nice to see a one-line description of the item already on the start page. In usability language: it's hard to decide for the user whether to click "vbap" or "boids" without prior knowledge of them.

Yeah, definitely, that's where the plone/python/css hacking comes in.  Plone should be very configurable.  Each of those items already has a short description and many even have an icon setup for them.  It would be great to have the listing show those.
