Sounds interesting...

Right now we are maintaining a list of N&N links for every package, but (a)
these are not very popular... and (b) they are most of the time out of date
because I tend to review these for the release only, i.e. I don't have the
time to update them regularly for every milestone.

Regards,
Markus
